Card statements print merchants in processor shorthand. I ran 28 descriptors in that style (SQ *, TST*, AMZN Mktp US*, UBER *TRIP, FACEBK *ADS) through ai-bookkeeper's built-in keyword layer with no rules or memory. 22 got an account; of the six blanks, two were real misses.

  • UBER *TRIP HELP.UBER.COM: the padded spaces defeated the uber trip keyword. Now travel (6120).
  • FACEBK *ADS 12345: Meta's statement name. Now advertising (6000).

The other four blanks are left alone on purpose: an Amazon marketplace order could be anything, an IRS payment is tax or payroll, and a card payment is a transfer. Those go to review. The descriptors were typed from memory of common statement shapes, not taken from a real export, so this is a probe, not a measurement. Tests: card-descriptor.test.mjs.
