The InfiniHash App Store Evidence Gap Trap: Why Agencies Fail With Compliance Retainers

Symptom: Client audit requests arrive and the agency discovers AttestProof review campaigns were never launched for that quarter, so no hash-chained evidence pack exists to export. Root cause: Each InfiniHash app operates independently, so an agency that configures AttestProof but skips BankChangeProof and ControlLedger delivers partial proof coverage while the client assumes the full compliance obligation is handled.

How do you recognize it?
  • •Client audit requests arrive and the agency discovers AttestProof review campaigns were never launched for that quarter, so no hash-chained evidence pack exists to export.
  • •BankChangeProof shows vendor bank-detail changes approved without the forced callback step, because the second-approver seat was never assigned after onboarding.
  • •ControlLedger recurring schedules sit in draft state for weeks while the agency bills the client a monthly compliance retainer.
  • •Auditor share links from AttestProof Pro return expired or empty packs because the agency configured reviews on the Starter tier's 5-system limit and hit the cap mid-quarter.
  • •Multiple client workspaces share one login, so evidence packs carry the wrong client logo and reviewers cannot tell which entity they attested for.
Why does it happen?
  • •Each InfiniHash app operates independently, so an agency that configures AttestProof but skips BankChangeProof and ControlLedger delivers partial proof coverage while the client assumes the full compliance obligation is handled.
  • •The Starter tier caps AttestProof at 5 systems and 1,000 rows per review, and agencies scaling past that limit without upgrading to Pro at $79/month silently lose review history and auditor share links.
  • •BankChangeProof Team at $39/month includes 5 users, and agencies that add client-side approvers to those seats exhaust the allocation, leaving no room for the required second approver on vendor changes.
  • •Agencies treat the $399/mo Compliance Starter offer as a set-and-forget retainer, but the 2h/mo effort estimate assumes active monitoring of review completion and co-sign reminders, which nobody owns when delivery staff rotate.
How do you fix it?
  • •Audit every client workspace in the InfiniHash App Store admin and confirm each of the three apps (AttestProof, BankChangeProof, ControlLedger) has at least one active campaign or schedule before the next billing cycle.
  • •Upgrade any AttestProof workspace that has exceeded 5 systems or 1,000 rows per review to the Pro tier at $79/month so auditor share links and JSON export remain available.
  • •Reassign BankChangeProof Team seats so at least one second-approver is a client-side user, not an agency delivery staffer, and verify the forced callback toggle is enabled on every vendor record.
  • •Set a recurring calendar task tied to ControlLedger schedules that checks draft-state controls weekly and sends client co-sign reminders through the app's built-in reminder function.
