# Closing Cost Credit Source Map

## Inputs
Closing Disclosure, loan estimate, purchase agreement credit terms and the lender credit confirmation.

## Workflow
1. List every credit line on the Closing Disclosure.
2. Match each credit to the agreement term or lender confirmation that authorizes it.
3. Confirm credit totals match the agreement and stay within the limits for the loan.
4. Return mismatches without contacting the lender or changing documents.

## Output contract
Credit line | amount | source | authorizing document | matches agreement | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional disclosure shows a 1,50,000 seller credit but the signed agreement says 1,25,000, and a 30,000 lender credit appears with no confirmation. Flag both lines; the remaining 2 credits match.

## Review gates
Re-check the disclosure version date against the agreement addenda. Credits never exceed program limits without documented review.
