Reconcile sales excluding collected sales tax. Identify duplicated expenses. Record unsold stock separately; purchases and cost of stock actually sold are not always the same. Explain refunds that do not reverse product, processing or host costs. Record costs outside the calculator, including taxes, depreciation, replacement capital and financing fees. Retain the calculator JSON with its source records and date.

## Host decision
Confirm access, space, accessibility, power, connectivity, fulfillment, support, terms and recovery ownership using the companion equipment-readiness worksheet. Complete a downside scenario using lower transactions and higher service costs. Record whether available working capital can cover it.

Reviewer, review date, discrepancies, unresolved costs and next decision:

Do not publish customer, payment, invoice or precise private location data. A real case study needs owner permission, an agreed comparison period and reported limitations; filling assumed numbers is not evidence of actual earnings.
