What this solves
What a small iron ore or manganese mine deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Royalty must be recomputed every month on the new IBM ASP, and short payment brings demand notices. A missed IBM monthly return triggers a violation letter and can suspend mining.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 12 licences for a small iron ore or manganese mine, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What changes
The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.

Credit and cash
Most sales are advance or against assay within 7-15 days. E-auction lots are paid in full before lifting. Contractors are paid monthly against measurement. Royalty and premium are prepaid before permits.
Statutory payments (royalty, DMF, NMET, premium) go out before every dispatch. The monsoon cuts output for 3 months while fixed costs run on. Price falls hit within weeks because the ASP is monthly.
