# Automatic Collection Retry Outcome Map

Map each automatic collection retry to its outcome before declaring an invoice uncollectible.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Failed invoice, retry log and current invoice status.

## Workflow
1. Record the documented retry schedule.
2. Match each retry to its outcome in the log.
3. Separate retries still pending from retries exhausted.
4. Return the outcome map without billing changes.

## Output contract
invoice | retry_no | attempted | outcome | pending | exhausted | writeoff_unproved

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional invoice shows two failed charges; the retry log shows a third attempt pending tomorrow. Declaring the invoice uncollectible today ignores the pending retry.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
