# Subscription Discount Metric Basis

Check whether recurring-revenue figures use gross or discount-adjusted values.

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

## Inputs
Subscription line values, recurring discount terms, approved metric definition and cutoff.

## Workflow
1. Read gross/net inclusion policy before totaling.
2. Keep recurring discounts separate from one-time credits or cash refunds.
3. Show both native gross and approved metric base with unknown terms held.
4. Return a definition note; no billing or investor communication.

## Output contract
subscription | gross recurring | recurring discount | one-time item | policy base | gap

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional recurring 100 with approved recurring discount 10 gives 90 net under policy. One-time credit 20 does not also reduce recurring value unless definition says so.

## 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.
