Senior (5 to 8 years)
Venetian merchants transformed commerce by creating a system where every transaction told a complete story. What seemed like simple ledger entries actually captured the flow of value through entire trading networks, turning chaotic financial records into reliable foundations for business decisions. Double-entry bookkeeping became the navigation system that enabled the Age of Exploration and global trade.
