# Debt Balance Movement Reconcile

## Scope
Preparation and review only. This is not native plugin installation, legal advice or permission to act.

## Inputs
Opening and closing debt, draws, principal payments, capitalised interest, currency and dates.

## Workflow
1. Separate principal, interest expense and capitalised interest using supplied definitions.
2. Bridge opening plus draws minus principal paid plus capitalised interest and documented noncash items.
3. Reconcile closing debt. Not every bank payment reduces principal.
4. Return residuals and definition questions. Do not repay loans or change the ledger.

## Output contract
facility | opening | draws | principal paid | capitalised interest | noncash | closing residual

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional opening 1,000 + draw 200 - principal 100 + capitalised interest 20 = 1,120. Bank payment 130 includes interest 30; subtracting 130 as principal gives the wrong 1,090.

## Review gates
Preserve original values and source locators. Hold missing identity, definition, access or evidence rather than fill it from model memory. Re-read the input version before a proposed change is approved. Use minimum-necessary data and the owner's retention policy.
