# Duplicate Deal Merge Surviving Value Check

Check which values survive a duplicate deal merge before totals are trusted.

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

## Inputs
Two duplicate deal records and the merge outcome record.

## Workflow
1. Record both duplicates’ amounts, stages and owners.
2. Record the surviving record after merge.
3. Compare surviving values against both sources field by field.
4. Return the survival map without merging or editing.

## Output contract
field | primary_value | duplicate_value | surviving_value | expected | merge_unproved

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional duplicates hold 4,000 and 4,500 for the same deal. After merge the survivor shows 4,000; totalling both sources would double count, and assuming the higher survived would overstate by 500.

## 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.
