# Closing Funds Source Documentation Check

## Inputs
Closing funds amount, bank statements, gift documentation and the lender's source requirements.

## Workflow
1. Reconcile the closing funds total against documented sources.
2. Match each contribution to statements showing it seasoned or transferred.
3. Flag any gift portion without a signed gift letter.
4. Return the documentation map without moving funds.

## Output contract
Source | amount | statement evidence | gift letter | documented | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional buyer needs 12,50,000; statements show 9,80,000 seasoned and a 2,70,000 gift deposit with no gift letter. The sum reconciles to 12,50,000 but flag the undocumented gift.

## Review gates
Re-check large deposits against the lender's seasoning window. A reconciled total with an undocumented source is still a gap.
