Filings waiting on a person

A robot that meets a page it does not recognise stops and asks. It never guesses which button submits — a wrong click on SOSDirect is a real filing on a real company's record.

Name not distinguishable — CEDAR & CO SUPPLY LLC

The Secretary of State rejected the certificate: the proposed name is not distinguishable from an existing entity. This is a decision for the client, not for us -- the robot stops and we ask them to choose.

proposed: CEDAR & CO SUPPLY LLC

- rejected: not distinguishable on the record

+ conflict: CEDAR AND COMPANY SUPPLY LLC (0800000733, in existence)

Unexpected page — MERIDIAN FLATS LLC

SOSDirect returned a page the robot has not seen before at the fee confirmation step. It stopped rather than guessing which button submits: a wrong click here files a real certificate and spends a real $300.

The kill switch halts every robot at the top of its next step — between steps, never mid-submit.
