Categorize Transactions Your Way

Prompt Categorization in Valid8: AI labels every matching transaction, fully audit-logged, the original evidence is never modified.

Your Transactions. Your Rules.

For forensic accountants and investigators, generic categories are not always enough. You need labels that fit the exact demands of your specific engagement.

Introducing Prompt Categorization in Valid8: a capability that applies your custom rules across every transaction in an engagement. There is no taxonomy setup, no rules engine, and no manual tagging required.

Give Instructions Like You're Talking to a Colleague

Unlike static category taxonomies, Prompt Categorization lets you describe your rules exactly the way you would explain them to an analyst on your team.

  • Write your prompt: Simply describe the transactions you want to find and the label you want to apply.
  • Valid8 reads everything: The system checks the payee, description, memo, amount, date, and account to ensure every transaction is reviewed.
  • Matches get labeled: Valid8 applies your chosen category to every transaction that matches your parameters.
  • Labels flow downstream: Categories automatically appear in your court-reliable reports, charts, and Excel exports as ready-to-use columns.

Built for Your Engagements 

  • Unmatched Specificity: Create engagement-specific labels like "Insider Payment" or categorize based on dollar thresholds, exact payee spellings, and date windows.
  • Prompt Agility: Save up to 500 prompts to your personal user account, allowing them to follow you from engagement to engagement.
  • Absolute Traceability: Every categorization run is logged with who ran it and when, ensuring a complete and traceable audit trail.
  • Uncompromising Security: The AI is purely assistive and additive, meaning the original transactional evidence is never modified. Furthermore, no customer data is ever used to train models, ours or anyone else’s.

Whether you need to categorize all Home Depot transactions over $1,000 as ‘Home Improvement’ or label outbound wires over $5,000 as "Material Wire", Prompt Categorization does the heavy lifting in the background.
