description	Measure realized savings against a finance-recognized baseline and locate leakage, so negotiated savings aren't mistaken for P&L impact. Reach for this on any savings claim.

Skill: Validate realized savings

Negotiated savings that never hit the P&L is theater.

Step 1 — Set the baseline

A baseline finance recognizes — prior price/volume (§3 #3).

Step 2 — Measure realized

Actual spend vs baseline at the new rate.

Step 3 — Locate leakage

Maverick spend, volume miss, price creep, or scope change.

Step 4 — Report to the P&L

Reconcile realized savings to a finance-validated number.

Output

A finance-recognized baseline, realized savings, the leakage source, and a P&L-reconciled number.
