Suggested respondent: Panigrahi and the owner's finance lead. A useful answer should survive a sample reconciliation rather than rely on a dashboard screenshot.

Ask: “Can an owner trace one chargeable event to the contract, billing record, deductions and bank receipt?”

A strong answer should cover: identifiers, billing units, refunds, taxes, foreign exchange, commissions, adjustments and reporting periods. Request a test export, a disputed-event workflow and an explanation of what the platform cannot observe after delivery. Ask who carries the credit risk when the downstream buyer does not pay.
