Use the same source review, policy version, currency, sign convention, report schema, formula, confirmation contract, tolerance, privacy rule, and human authority for weekly and month-end packets. Let dates, volume, fee mix, reserve movement, payment groups, and bank cutoff differ. Extension 1 is specific to the payout scenario bridge and must preserve the accepted source, dates, one-currency grain, privacy boundary, reviewer, stop condition, restoration evidence, and human-only action authority.

Challenge this extension with one invented aggregate counterexample and record the expected statement, reserve bridge, mature payout, bank receipt, decision, unresolved evidence, correction owner, and restored prior state. A passing calculation cannot substitute for source completeness or authorized review.

Attribute each difference to net sales, retained shipping, fee class, adjustment, reserve, statement gap, payment status, failed or reversed payout, bank gap, or aging.
