“Audit-ready”
(01)   The problem

The agreement, the work, the approval, the payment, and the books each live somewhere else.

A 20-person agency pays a designer in Buenos Aires, a developer in Kraków, an editor in Manila. The money can move. What can’t is the context — who approved it, which client funded it, what it cost, and whether the project stayed profitable.

(02)  How it worksIndex
01

Approve

Confirm the work and route the sign-off. Who approved it, against which budget and which client, is on the record.
02

Pay

Fund in USD. Contractors receive local bank, USD, or USDC. Stablecoins are an invisible settlement rail — no wallets, no gas.
03

Reconcile

Every fee, FX adjustment, and project margin — booked to QuickBooks or Xero, audit-ready, with an immutable event log.

Every payment, drawn to scale.

Watch a single payment settle.

Every payout carries its full context — the client that funded it, the engagement it relates to, who approved it, the fee and FX that applied, and the margin it left behind.

(06)  PricingProductized implementation

You’re buying an operating system, not a payment button.

The setup fee buys the implementation — mapping your current process, configuring approvals and compliance controls, structuring project budgets, and wiring up accounting reconciliation. The monthly fee runs the system: controlled pay runs, a reconciled project ledger, and an audit trail. Per-contractor tools (e.g. Plane at ~$39 / contractor / mo) handle contractor management; they don’t map your process, enforce your approvals, or reconcile to your books.

What it replaces

A 25-person agency paying 35 contractors spends ~20 hours a month chasing invoices, verifying approvals, initiating payouts, and reconciling.

Lootrunners turns that into one controlled pay run and a reconciled project ledger.

Illustrative — pending customer discovery.

Onboarding is guided and done with you. Go-live timing depends on payment-provider verification.
