I Automated a $5k Forensic Accounting Job with Python

Problem was Implementing the 'Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule' (LIBR) legal algorithm in Python.

The Hard Part was OCR. I benchmarked Tesseract vs. Mistral OCR-3 on messy bank PDFs; Mistral won because it understands table layouts.

Built with Django/Celery to handle 10k+ transaction ledgers.

Happy to answer questions about the OCR pipeline or the graph theory implementation.
