H6.ai freezes financial test data with Lakebase branches

H6.ai describes its approach to AI financial automation regression testing: it creates an independent Lakebase Postgres database for each customer, and during testing branches a runtime branch from a frozen snapshot, so that invoice extraction, matching, classification, and validation run for real on data in which purchase orders, suppliers, and policy states remain unchanged; the branch is deleted after the run. H6.ai says creating a branch does not copy data; the branch shares storage with the parent database and stores only its own changes. Tests do not post to the customer's ERP, nor do they write to the customer's live database. Results are determined jointly by deterministic assertions and an AI review panel composed of models from multiple vendors, which gives a pass, fail, or uncertain verdict along with reasoning. Branch management uses a dedicated service principal with least privilege, and the branch protection mechanism refuses to touch the customer's live branch. H6.ai also says that in the future it hopes to use Lakehouse//RT to run read-only analytical queries against Lakebase tables without copying data.
