Lesson outline

- 2Separate four reads with one refunded order
- 3Add the backend reconciliation paths
- 4Reconcile a 20-order sample
Public core framework
- Write the budget question first, then split GA4 revenue, Shopify net sales, contribution profit, and cash safety into four columns. Do not scale from a single GA4 or ad-platform report.
- Take one 20oz order and reconcile transaction_id / order ID. Record GA4 purchase value, Shopify net sales, refund ARN, payment fee, COGS, and cash timing. If a partial refund appears on day 7, reread revenue, payment, and profit definitions together.
