How it runs
The Ops Bot owns this as part of its theme. On its cadence it reads vendor row in sheet, produces checklist, document requests drafted, and stops. It writes one heartbeat line to the ops log so a missed run shows up in the morning message.
The risk to watch
W-9s and bank details are human-handled.
