Why it matters
Money tasks are tedious but high-stakes, which is exactly where a careful agent helps: it does the checking and paperwork while a person keeps the final say. It is one of 65 sightings filed under Finance on Agent Sightings (number 18 by interest), and one of 91 involving Claude.

Finance task: win a small legal case with Claude's help. Tabulate numbers, mark uncertainties, and do not file, pay, or submit until I confirm.
Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
