TikTok Shop GMV-to-Contribution Decision Threshold: evidence exercise 1
Reperform block missing definition using invented Seller Center and Ads Manager packets. Hold market, currency, comparable reporting period, retained-order grain, and target constant, then isolate one declared report-definition, attribution, discount, tax, refund, fee, commission, advertising, product-mix, cost, reserve, or allocation difference.
Stress the selected field one at a time and preserve the old result beside the new result. A calculated bridge cannot certify platform settlement, accounting net income, tax treatment, incrementality, future conversion, scalable advertising, creator quality, or authority to change a campaign, price, collaboration, or policy.

Definition reconciliation before margin
First compare each declared report value with the equation selected by its revenue definition. A gap beyond the seller-entered tolerance creates Review only after every structural evidence control passes.
Then compare normalized contribution margin with the seller target. A good margin does not erase a report-definition gap, and a reconciled report does not guarantee a good contribution margin.
Seventeen-output structural quarantine
Block masks eight derived economic outputs for each scenario plus the cross-scenario contribution difference. Labels, selected definitions, equations, confirmation coverage, dates, and issue diagnostics remain visible.
Malformed decimals, invalid dates, unsupported definitions, duplicated definitions, incomplete evidence, failed confirmations, unresolved conflicts, or missing authority all trigger this quarantine.
