# Subscription Cancellation Effective Date Check

## Inputs
The cancellation export, the cancellation policy and the scheduled period ends.

## Workflow
1. List cancellations with their requested dates.
2. Compare the scheduled end against the policy for each.
3. Flag cancellations ending at the wrong date.
4. Return the check without cancelling anything.

## Output contract
Customer | requested | policy end | scheduled end | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional batch: 12 cancellations; 10 end at period end per policy, 1 ends immediately despite a paid-through period and 1 is scheduled a full cycle late. Flag 2 cancellations.

## Review gates
Re-check the policy that applied at the request date. The check surfaces the gap; it never changes access.
