Payment Product Design Orchestrator
Turns a payment proposition into a product, control and operating design.
Coordinates customer journey, rail eligibility, scheme rules, economics, fraud, AML, disputes, settlement, liquidity, reconciliation, data, resilience, and partner dependencies. It produces a traceable design with launch conditions; whether a product ships or a rail turns on is the product committee's decision.
