Key Event Counting Method Effective Cutoff

Keep a counting-method change from being applied retroactively to old report rows. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Method-change log, effective time, event times/timezone and before/after report periods.

How it works

1. Preserve the old and new counting methods with their effective time.
2. Split periods at the change instead of rewriting historical counts.
3. Label mixed-method reports as not directly comparable without source evidence.
4. Return a change note; no historical data repair or setting update.

The output

period | effective_method | cutoff | mixed_method | comparable | explanation

Worked fictional example

Fictional method switches to once-per-eventOct 10. September data is not recalculated by that setting. Comparing September 10 withOctober 20 needs method scope, not an automatic 100%growth claim.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
