# Forecast Scenario Probability Check

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

## Inputs
Scenario definitions, outcome values, owner-approved weights and whether cases are mutually exclusive.

## Workflow
1. Check weight units, total and source. Do not invent missing probabilities.
2. Confirm cases are exhaustive and mutually exclusive before calculating a weighted mean.
3. Calculate only documented weights; separate sensitivity scenarios from probability forecasts.
4. Return valid arithmetic and definition blockers for review. Do not promise revenue or move funds.

## Output contract
scenario | value | weight/source | exclusivity | weighted contribution | blocker

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional cases 100 at 0.6 and 50 at 0.4 give 80 if exclusive. Weights 0.6 and 0.6 sum 1.2; hold and do not normalize silently.

## 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.
