# Prefiler

> AI-powered pre-filing financial intelligence platform for accounting professionals.
> Developed and operated by Prefiler Labs Private Limited.

Prefiler is a decision-support platform designed for Chartered Accountants (CAs), CPAs, and tax professionals. It analyses financial data before tax filing to identify risks, classify transactions, and generate structured compliance intelligence.

## What Prefiler Does

Prefiler automates the pre-filing review stage of accounting workflows. It extracts data from bank statements, classifies transactions, scores financial risk using deterministic rules, and produces structured reports — all before a return is prepared.

## Core Capabilities

- Bank statement extraction from PDF (HDFC, SBI, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, PNB, Yes Bank, and more)
- Transaction classification using heuristic pattern detection
- Deterministic risk scoring with materiality-weighted, versioned rules
- Reconciliation verification using integer arithmetic
- AI-generated narrative summaries (validated, not authoritative)
- GST return validation and reconciliation signals
- Income tax computation structuring
- Compliance deadline tracking
- Firm-scoped role-based access for CA practices

## Architecture

Prefiler uses a hybrid intelligence model:

1. Deterministic rule engine — reproducible risk scoring with versioned weights
2. Heuristic pattern detection — transaction classification via narration analysis
3. AI reasoning layer — narrative generation only, validated before rendering

AI never determines risk scores. All scoring is rule-based, traceable, and auditable.

## Target Users

- Chartered Accountants (India)
- Certified Public Accountants (CPAs)
- Tax professionals and compliance teams
- CA firms managing multiple client engagements

## Category

## Key Differentiators

- Decision support, not replacement of professional judgment
- Deterministic scoring separated from AI narrative generation
- No raw financial document storage (ephemeral processing)
- Audit-ready output with full reasoning traces
- Country-modular architecture (India-first)
