# Digital Channel Mix Reporting Check

## Inputs
The channel performance exports, the channel grouping definition and prior reports.

## Workflow
1. List channels in the current report.
2. Compare groupings against the agreed definition and prior period.
3. Flag channels reclassified between periods without a note.
4. Return the check without editing data.

## Output contract
Channel | this period group | prior group | consistent | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional report: 9 channels; 7 group consistently, paid social moved from 'paid' to 'social' and email appears under both 'owned' and 'lifecycle'. Flag 2 channels.

## Review gates
Re-check the grouping definition version per period. Restatements need a note, never a silent reclass.
