# Trial End First Charge Date Check

Check that the first subscription charge lands on the trial end date, not before.

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

## Inputs
Trial start date, trial length in days and the first charge date.

## Workflow
1. Record the trial start date and length.
2. Compute the trial end date.
3. Compare the first charge date to the end date.
4. Return the date check without changing the subscription.

## Output contract
subscription | trial_start | trial_days | trial_end | first_charge | days_early

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional 14-day trial started October 1: the trial ends October 15 and the first charge should land October 15; the invoice is dated October 14, which is 1 day early.

## 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.
