Sheet Patched

The deferred-revenue tab is edited by hand.

Orphan

No Resolver

The schedule has no named approver or date.

Root Operational Bottleneck

Internal parties resolve revenue adjustments in email, then someone patches the deferred-revenue waterfall, so the schedule changes without a named resolver.

Control Hazard & Audit Exposure

Internal concession approvals patch the waterfall without a named resolver and date, so later audits cannot show who authorized the restatement.

Manifests in: Adjustment-resolution email thread and deferred-revenue override sheet

Deterministic Replacement (After)Golden Door Standard

Target Software Architecture

Internal-Resolution Case Manager that Versions the Waterfall Only After Named Approval

Deterministic Pipeline Execution

Cased

Case Opened

The internal resolution is captured with an owner.

Bound

Version Bind

Approver and date are written onto the schedule revision.

Gated

Restate Gate

A missing resolver keeps the waterfall unchanged.
