# Failed Payment Recovery Sequence Review

## Inputs
The failed renewal list, the retry schedule, the recovery email log and the recovery policy.

## Workflow
1. List failed renewals and their retry status.
2. Check retries follow the documented schedule.
3. Flag exhausted retries with no recovery outreach.
4. Return the review note without charging any customer.

## Output contract
Customer | failed amount | retries used | outreach sent | recovered | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional month: 120 failed renewals on a 3-retry, 7-day schedule; 9 recovered, and 18 exhausted all retries with no recovery email sent. Flag 18 accounts.

## Review gates
Re-check the schedule in the live billing settings, not the wiki copy. Recovery outreach is prepared for review, never sent by this note.
