The platform
Connect. Check. Seal. Act.
Eurus is the software FourWinds runs a business's compliance on. It connects to the systems the business already runs, checks what happens in them against the controls it keeps, seals each result in a chained record, and turns a failed check into work a named person finishes.
One path for every record
Read, checked, kept, raised if it fails, and decided by a person.
1 · Read
Your systems, read where they already are.
2 · Check
Every record against every control that applies, on arrival.
3 · Keep
Each result fingerprinted with SHA-256, added to and never rewritten.
4 · Raise
A failure becomes a finding, with the records behind it.
5 · Decide
A named person accepts, fixes or approves, and the closing is kept.
Connect
Each system is connected with read permission and read again on its schedule. Writing to one is a separate permission. A system with no connection sends an export through the same reading and the same checks.

How it is connected
A key with read permission, made in its own settings
What it reads
Reads charges (amount, status, card's last four digits, the payer's name and email) and charge events. With write granted (Checkout Sessions: write, PaymentIntents: read): makes payment links for amounts due, which customers pay on Stripe's own page. Never refunds, charges a card or changes anything else.
Built against the vendor's documented API, and tested on its recorded answers.
Anything else
Files and spreadsheets
Ready to connect
For a system with no connection: upload its export, or link a Google Sheet. The file goes through the same reading and the same checks.
Up to 4 MB a file. The kind is told by the file's own first bytes.
- CSV and tab-separated text
- Excel workbooks (.xlsx)
- Older Excel workbooks (.xls)
- OpenDocument spreadsheets
- JSON exports
- XML exports
- UBL e-invoices, as Peppol sends them
- Word documents (.docx)
- PDFs with a text layer
- Google Sheets, by link
PDF and Word documents are read as text. Reading scans and photos is coming.

Every record is checked as it arrives against the controls the business keeps. A check on a system's settings counts only while its read is fresh. Try one here: an enquiry form, checked by the same code. What you type stays on this page.
The checks waiting for it
- Enquiry forms collect only what is needed
- No full card numbers in payment records
Send the enquiry to see what each one finds, and the fingerprint it keeps.
Seal
Each result is kept with a SHA-256 fingerprint of what was checked, and chained to the result before it. This is one row of a ledger: change a character and your browser shows the fingerprint change.

Want this on your own systems? It starts with an audit of how your business really runs.
Book an auditAn issue with its records
A failed check raises an issue, with the records behind it.
A task for a person
Accepting the issue makes a task for the right team, due by its severity.
A named approver
A fix to access, money or customer data closes only with a named approver.
Workflows
The follow-up work between systems, with steps that wait for a person in the role they name.
Closed when the cause clears
An issue clears when its cause clears, and one closed while still true is raised again.
Who does the work
FourWinds does the work, and Eurus is the software underneath it: the connections, the checks, the sealed record, the workflows and the reports. The work is the audit of a business's systems and the rules it keeps, the build that connects them and switches the checks on, and Run & Monitor, which keeps them watched, fixed and reported.
