What to provide

Draft analytics summary, source ledger or model export, period definitions and the rounding convention.

Workflow

  1. Extract every numeric claim from the summary with its period and unit.
  2. Match each claim to a source row; flag any claim with no source row.
  3. Recompute derived figures such as totals, growth rates and margins from source rows under the stated rounding.
  4. Return mismatches without editing source data or circulating the summary.

Output contract

Claim | period | source row | source value | summary value | difference | verdict | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional summary says Q3 revenue grew 12% but source rows show 118.4 versus 104.9; growth is 12.9%, not 12%. Flag that figure; the other 6 of 7 claims tie out.

Review gates and limits

Re-check that growth rates use the stated base period. A tied-out summary still needs a named reviewer before circulation.
