Reperform the USD 61 organic base

Start with the invented USD 60 customer payment and add the USD 5 platform-funded discount. Exclude USD 4 sales tax to obtain USD 61 before refund; the fixture records no refund, so retained revenue remains USD 61.

Apply the editable 6% category rate to produce USD 3.66 referral fee, then preserve zero verified payment, promotion, and CPS Ads lines plus the observed USD 5 logistics line. The example is arithmetic training, not a claim that every category or order has these values.

Close the organic contribution bridge

Subtract USD 3.66 referral fee, USD 5 logistics, USD 18 product cost, USD 1 packaging, USD 2 other fulfillment cost, and USD 1.83 return reserve from USD 61 retained revenue. The bridge closes at USD 29.51 contribution.

A reviewer should reproduce every step from the protected order and invoice evidence, confirm the 30-day closed evidence duration, and compare the source-review date with the seller policy date before accepting Ready.
