SSM-Audit – Finance Defaults & Worked Examples (0E.1–0E.3)

0E.1 — Defaults (knobs and bands)
Bounded, executive-friendly, and reproducible from day one.

# Lane bounds (always)
a in (-1,+1)
a := clamp(a, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)     # eps_a = 1e-6

# Bands (executive-friendly)
A++: a>=0.75
A+ : 0.50<=a<0.75
A0 : 0.25<=a<0.50
A- : 0.10<=a<0.25
A--: a<0.10

# Hysteresis (stop flicker)
promote only if delta_a >= 0.05
demote  only if delta_a <= -0.05

# Order-invariance (declared later)
# use the same fusion so batch == stream == shuffled

# Manifest essentials (pin once)

0E.2 — AR / Collections health

Classical KPI (unchanged).

m := collected_total / issued_total    # for the period

Lane (Level-1: coverage within policy window).

q := collected_within_window / issued_total     # window e.g., <= 30 days
a_cov := 2*q - 1

Interpretation. Identical m across months can carry very different a_cov if within-window coverage weakens (growing long tail).

Optional Level-2 (blend coverage + tails).

p_tail := past_due_>window / issued_total
a_tail := 1 - 2*p_tail
# rapidity blend with weight beta in [0,1]
a := tanh( (atanh(a_cov) + beta*atanh(a_tail)) / max(1, beta) )
# default: beta = 0.5

Clamp + parity (always).

a := clamp(a, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)
phi((m,a)) = m

Worked examples.

# Healthy but honest
issued_total = 100
collected_total = 96  -> m = 0.96
collected_within_window = 92 -> q = 0.92
a_cov = 2*0.92 - 1 = 0.84 -> band A++

# Same m, risk rising
m = 0.96 again, but q = 0.83
a_cov = 2*0.83 - 1 = 0.66 -> band A+

0E.3 — Refunds / Chargebacks reconciliation

Classical KPI choices (unchanged).
Use the rate you already report or a normalized value.

# Example (rate)
m := refunds_total / shipments_total

# Example (value)
m := refunds_total_currency

Lane (agreement quality across systems).

d := |m_platform - m_bank|
a_agree := tanh( 1 - d / b )      # b > 0 is your declared bound

Tuning tip. Set b near acceptable daily reconciliation noise (e.g., b = 0.005 for 0.5% rate difference).

Worked example (rate).

m_platform = 0.021, m_bank = 0.020, b = 0.005
d = 0.001
1 - d/b = 0.8
a_agree = tanh(0.8) ≈ 0.664  -> band A+

# A week later
d = 0.003
1 - d/b = 0.4
a_agree = tanh(0.4) ≈ 0.380  -> band A0

Clamp + parity (always).

a := clamp(a, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)
phi((m,a)) = m
