Understanding Your Analysis
Transactions, Income Analysis & P&L
Three views answer "where does the money actually come from and go": the raw transaction ledger, the income analysis, and the categorized P&L.
Transactions explorer
Available on both levels:
- Document → Transactions — every parsed transaction from that statement
- Client → Transactions — all statements merged into one ledger

Search and filters
- Full-text search across transaction descriptions
- Category filter — Transfer, Merchant Cash Advance, Fees, Revenue, Other…
- Type — All / Deposits / Withdrawals
- Amount range and Date range
Every row shows date, full description as printed on the statement, detected category, deposit/withdrawal type, and amount. This is where you verify any number the summary gives you — two clicks from metric to underlying transactions.
Income Analysis (client level)
The client's Income Analysis tab aggregates revenue across all their statements:
- Monthly Revenue Trend — revenue plotted month by month across every statement on file
- Revenue Source Breakdown — each identified deposit stream with share of total, transaction count, dollar total, and a trend direction (Growing / Declining / Stable)
The trend column is the underrated part: a merchant whose biggest revenue source is Declining while total revenue holds flat is replacing quality revenue with something else — worth two minutes of reading the sources.
MCA exclusion: advance proceeds are excluded from all revenue figures and the exclusion count is shown explicitly (e.g. "Excluded: 12 MCA-related txns"), so the income picture is never inflated by borrowed money.
P&L view (document level)
The P&L tab restates the statement as an income statement:
- Total Income / Total Expenses / Net Income headline cards
- Income Breakdown by category — each expandable to its transactions, with share of income
- Expense Breakdown by category, same drill-down
It's a cash-basis P&L built purely from the bank ledger — best used for sanity-checking the merchant's claimed financials ("your P&L says $80K monthly costs; the bank shows $130K leaving the account").
FAQ
How accurate is transaction categorization? Categorization runs on ClearStaq's models tuned on lending-relevant categories (StaqVerify). Every category is verifiable — click through to the transactions and read the descriptors.
Can I recategorize a transaction? Not currently in the UI — but because every metric links back to its transactions, you can always verify and adjust in your own credit memo. Custom categorization rules are part of custom fraud/underwriting rules on StaqScale.
Can I export transactions? Yes — Export Report → Transactions (CSV) on any document, or the client-level CSV from the dashboard. Also available as JSON via Raw Output and the API.
Why do client-level numbers differ from a single document's? Client level aggregates all statements on file; a document is one period. Same engine, different windows.
