Table 4Which gaps are not confirmed leakage?
| Observed difference | First question | Provisional state |
|---|---|---|
| Expected amount is above invoice | Was the line eligible and delivered under the declared rule? | Under-invoice or scope review |
| Invoice is above collected amount | Was the invoice due at the cutoff, and is the receipt correctly matched? | Timing, overdue, dispute, or collection review |
| Approved credit reduces the amount | Was the credit authorized before the expected-value boundary was fixed? | Commercial term, not automatically leakage |
| Requested work has no contract or approval | Does the line belong in the eligible population? | Excluded, not a shortfall |
| Amounts use different currencies | Which conversion date and source rate apply? | Uninterpretable until aligned |
| One line appears twice | Which key proves uniqueness? | Data defect before financial interpretation |
