Real-Time Budget Control: Stop Blowing the Budget in 2026

The traditional budget model is flawed: you set the budget in January and only discover you blew it in December. Modern Budget Control is preventive. It happens at the moment of purchase, not in accounting.

The Budget Lock

When someone asks to buy something, the system must check: "Is there balance available for the Marketing Cost Center?"

• If Yes -> Proceed to approval.
• If No -> Block and request budget supplement.
