# Reopened Deal Close Date Evidence

Identify old close dates that may remain after a closed deal is reopened.

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

## Inputs
Deal stage history, close-date history, current stage, automation settings and buyer commitment evidence.

## Workflow
1. Match the same deal ID across stage and date history.
2. Find closed-to-open transitions and preserve the previously closed date.
3. Separate retained property value from evidence of a new buyer commitment; clearing behavior depends on settings.
4. Return date-review questions without updating the CRM or promising a close.

## Output contract
deal | reopen_event | retained_close_date | clear_setting | buyer_evidence | stale_date_hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional deal closedSep 30 and reopenedOct 5; Close date remainsSep 30. This is not a new expected close date. Missing clearing-setting evidence blocks an automation diagnosis.

## 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.
