# Trial Offer Post-Price Anchor Map

Map the post-trial billing anchor from settings rather than assuming the old date survives.

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

## Inputs
Trial offer end, prior anchor, configured reset/preserve behavior, recurring price and invoice preview.

## Workflow
1. Read actual anchor behavior from supplied settings.
2. Keep offer end date distinct from old subscription anchor.
3. Map documented reset behavior and full period invoice separately from proration.
4. Return unknown settings and cost questions; no subscription change or payment.

## Output contract
offer_end | prior_anchor | configured_behavior | next_period | invoice_basis | unknown

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional offer endsJan 8, reset behavior startsJan 8-Feb 8 full 20 period. Missing behavior cannot default to reset or preserved Jan 1 anchor. No actual charge is authorized.

## 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.
