Runbook

Proof demo sample

Marlow Goods: late rate change, derived correction, notice answer.

This is demo data backed by Runbook engine tests. It shows how a payroll answer changes when a raise was effective inside an already approved period but recorded later.

Case ID PS-2026-MARLOW-001. No live payroll, filing, money movement, legal advice, tax advice, or customer data.

PACKET VERDICT Test-backed demo
ScenarioLate rate fact
Correction$58.50 gross
Notice claim$15.14
Residual$0.00
Facts Rules Deltas Evidence

The sample is meant to be inspected before a real payroll scenario is submitted.

Executive summary.

The original run stays filed. The later fact creates a derived correction, and the notice answer reconciles to the penny.

01

Original run preserved.

Run 9 was approved with the knowledge available on 2026-05-06: Carlos Reyes at $24.50/hour and 78 approved hours.

02

Late fact represented.

The $26.00/hour rate was effective 2026-04-27 but recorded on 2026-05-12, after approval.

03

Correction derived.

Runbook recomputes under later knowledge and carries a $58.50 gross correction through run 10.

What the packet proves.

Runbook can explain a payroll answer without editing the past or hand-authoring the correction.

Verified

Bitemporal history

Effective date and recorded date stay separate, so Run 9 can remain as filed while Run 10 carries the later correction.

Verified

Derived delta

The correction is recomputed from facts and rules. It is not typed in as an adjustment number.

Verified

Notice reconciliation

The IRS notice claim equals the filed-versus-corrected federal liability delta, and the deposit closes the residual.

Hold

Evidence boundary

The demo still surfaces an open Milo timecard hold. A real packet would wait for approved evidence before final delivery.

Test pins.

The sample is not a marketing invention; it is tied to engine and smoke-test behavior.
