Reconcile
Invoice lines, contract terms, seat counts, rate cards, usage, credits, true-ups, overages, and renewal changes.
Billing evidence
Sometimes the invoice is simply wrong.
Wrong counts, duplicate charges, rate mismatches, and unremoved add-ons are evidence problems. Correct them, document the result, and connect verified savings to the Savings Map.
Primary decision: Correct / Cut.
This is one signal inside the broader Savings Map. Evidence, capability, economics, and risk determine the final action.

Document
The original charge, the evidence, the vendor response, the correction, and the first-year verified effect.
Do not overstate
Do not imply every discrepancy is intentional or publish a proprietary billing database claim unless it exists and is maintained.
Map the result
Place the verified action and confidence level in the Savings Map.
Keep the framework connected
One problem can have more than one responsible answer.
Do not treat a category label as an automatic cancellation order. Confirm the owner, use, contract, business job, risk, and net economics.
