Claude: builds the worksheet and drafts, you check both

Claude builds the worksheet, then drafts the explanation in the same chat. You check the worksheet first, then the draft.

  1. You

    Collect the case files

  2. Claude

    Build the worksheet

  3. You

    Check the worksheet

  4. Claude

    Draft the explanation

  5. You

    Check the final draft

  1. Have ready: charge ledger, billing definitions, approved rules

    Use: You

    The charge ledger and billing definitions, plus the approved rules, scope and as-of dates from the service owner.

    Check

    Never paste credentials or full payment details. Check nothing outside the supplied case evidence and approved rules is included.

  2. Reconstruct the charge components and arithmetic

    Use: Claude

    Upload the source set to one Claude chat and ask for a draft evidence worksheet with source IDs.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Draft evidence worksheet with source IDs. Using only the uploaded files, build a worksheet. For each row give a source ID, the quoted span or original value, the rule or version reference, whether it is confirmed or only reported, and any gap. For each charge line also list its components and the arithmetic exactly as supplied in the sources (amounts, rates, periods, currency), without recalculating and without running code, and mark any component or arithmetic step that is not supplied as a gap. Do not fill gaps by inference. The case type is: explain a bill line by line without promising a refund.

  3. Check the worksheet and write corrections

    Use: You

    Compare each worksheet row with the originals and write corrections for the same chat.

    Check

    Check claims, values, chronology and rule applicability against the originals for this case: Base fee plus prorated adjustment confuses the customer. Do not fill missing or contradictory facts by inference.

  4. Draft the explanation and open questions

    Use: Claude

    In the same chat, give the corrected worksheet and ask for the line-by-line explanation, unresolved questions and next decision.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Draft line-by-line charge explanation and unresolved disputes; Explicit unresolved questions and proposed next human decision, not an executed action. Using only the corrected worksheet and the rules in the uploaded files, produce the draft. Mark anything not supported as not stated in the files and list the open questions and the proposed next human decision. Do not state an executed action, remedy or deadline.

  5. Check the draft and flag missing sources

    Use: You

    Check the evidence and draft; label the draft incomplete if a source or reviewer is missing.

    Check

    Check every explained amount matches source currency and period; no refund is promised. Check recipient scope and required authority before later use; the draft is not approval. Suggestions and preparation only. Do not send, publish, change records or accounts, assign work, execute code, initiate a purchase, or commit a remedy or deadline. You approve any downstream action separately.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Final check

Never paste credentials or full payment details.

Every claim is compared with the supplied originals and approved rules by the billing reviewer.

No send, publish, record or account change, assignment, code execution on the case, purchase, remedy or deadline; you approve any later action.

Customer details cut down; no passwords, codes, tokens or payment credentials in any upload or prompt.

Missing source or reviewer: return a labelled incomplete draft.

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.

What still needs checking
  • Do not send, publish, change records or accounts, assign work, execute code, initiate a purchase, or commit a remedy or deadline. A human separately approves any downstream action.
  • Option C no longer asks ChatGPT to recompute with Python, because the source warning forbids executing code. Code-backed recomputation is not offered unless the owner of that warning changes it.
