Request a draft
Return source activity | matching entry | discrepancy | question for timekeeper. Report unmatched records without inventing work, narratives, durations or recoverable revenue. Do not assume a planned meeting occurred.
Verify before use
Have the timekeeper resolve each discrepancy from actual records. Keep legitimate gaps and non-billable work distinct; no new entry is created until the underlying work and time are confirmed.
