Advisory scopes
Each scope leaves behind a different review artifact.
Diagnostic inventory
For scattered record years
The diagnostic reads the raw set before cleanup. It names accounts, payer sources, platform exports, folders, envelopes, missing months, unreadable files, and duplicate-looking records. The result is a compact map of the year rather than a finished packet.
This scope is useful when the owner is not sure what is present. It reduces the risk of spending time polishing folders while a basic source group is still missing.
Payer trail board
For forms, deposits, and statements
The payer trail board compares forms, client statements, deposit downloads, and platform summaries. It shows where sources agree and where the same activity appears under different names or dates.
The artifact is a comparison board with row notes and unresolved questions. It helps a later reviewer see why totals differ without relying on memory.
Receipt context lanes
For purchases with missing purpose
Receipt lanes group invoices, subscriptions, supplies, equipment, travel support, and owner annotations. Each lane keeps observed records separate from owner explanations so the packet does not overstate what the file proves.
This scope is useful when receipts exist but are not yet readable as support. It creates a source trail and a list of purpose questions that need owner confirmation or later review.
Trip support dossier
For mileage and travel records
The trip dossier connects route exports, calendar entries, appointment notes, parking records, repair receipts, and owner context. It names missing destinations, unclear dates, and support gaps.
The artifact is a trip-support narrative with exhibits and questions. It does not decide mileage treatment. It prepares the source trail for someone qualified to review it.
Export conflict check
For platform and bank mismatches
The export check preserves raw downloads and creates a working comparison. It records date ranges, filters, payout timing, refunds, reserves, fees, and rows that appear duplicated across files.
This scope is useful when a platform export, bank download, payer form, and bookkeeping file all describe the year differently. The deliverable names the difference instead of hiding it behind one forced total.
