Where it usually breaks
And how to keep it from happening.
- The compensating output cannot be matched to the original source identity. Keep both identities and the operation key in the review.
- The successor uses an unreviewed mapping. Validate its contract before treating it as a released revision.
- The follow-up is closed before the destination result is checked. Record the resolution only after reviewing the external receipt and scoped outcome.
- The prior revision is overwritten. Preserve its run, attempt, decision and history as the explanation for compensation.
