Vertical Application vs. Horizontal Infrastructure

Maximor is a *vertical* app for Finance. Mala is the *horizontal* infrastructure for decision recording across all verticals.

Maximor does a great job of capturing context within the finance office—linking invoices to payments to reconciliations. It's a specialized orchestration layer. Mala is the 'System of Record' for *any* orchestration layer. Whether it's Finance (Maximor), Sales (Oliv), or bespoke internal tools, Mala provides the cryptographic seal and policy engine that sits underneath. We are not the finance app; we are the audit log *for* the finance app.

Does Mala replace Maximor?

No. Maximor is an excellent tool for automating finance workflows. Mala is the 'black box' recorder that ensures those workflows are compliant. In fact, a Platform Engineer might use Mala to *build* an internal version of Maximor, ensuring every automated financial decision is cryptographically signed and auditable.
