Exception Path — Quantity Verification Before Payment
For dirt-removal and truckload-billed vendors, Mark independently reconciles trucker tickets and logs against vendor invoice quantities before payment is approved. This is a quantity-audit step that happens upstream of normal proof attachment.
Real example — April 2026: Mark caught a trucking vendor overcharging on dirt removal at an active project by cross-referencing ticket counts against the invoiced load quantity. The discrepancy was escalated and the invoice was corrected before payment.
This is the Stream 02-side counterpart to Big-3 statement reconciliation in Stream 01 — both are quantity/amount verification checkpoints that sit outside the normal matching flow.
