# Subscription Cancel Effective Date Check

Check that a cancelled subscription stayed active until its documented effective date.

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

## Inputs
Cancellation request date, cancel-at-period-end setting and the access end date.

## Workflow
1. Record the cancellation request date.
2. Record whether cancel-at-period-end was set.
3. Compare the access end date to the period end.
4. Return the date check without changing the subscription.

## Output contract
subscription | cancelled_at | period_end | access_ended | days_early | violation

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional subscription was cancelled October 20 with cancel-at-period-end set and a period end of November 1: access ended October 20, 12 days early, so the termination is flagged.

## 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.
