Root Operational Bottleneck
The multi-jurisdiction tax strategy lives in a workbook next to rate-pack folders, so a statute change is typed in only if someone remembers to refresh the pack.
Control Hazard & Audit Exposure
The strategy pack still cites last year's rates after a jurisdiction law change, and the provision cannot show which statute version the plan used.

Jurisdiction Rate-Pack Engine that Versions the Tax Strategy When a Statute Changes
Tax-strategy versioning engine that ingests each jurisdiction rate pack and blocks the strategy from locking while a statute effective date is newer than the cited pack.
Continuous Assertion Rule
Strategy assertion: the tax strategy cannot lock unless every jurisdiction cites the rate pack in force on the statute effective date for that period.
