Revenue Recognition Policy Review

Use this skill to convert revenue recognition, pricing, billing, contract modification, deferred revenue, and finance handoff questions into a concrete artifact with owners, gates, metrics, and recovery paths.

Workflow

1. Identify product motion, contract type, performance obligations, pricing model, billing cadence, delivery/activation event, refund/credit terms, modification path, and finance owner.
2. Read references/revenue-recognition-policy-patterns.md.
3. Classify the change as new sale, renewal, upgrade, downgrade, usage overage, prepaid credit, implementation service, refund, cancellation, bundle, marketplace transaction, or contract modification.
4. Define recognition trigger, evidence source, accounting review, billing/revenue reconciliation, customer communication, exception approval, and control owner.
5. Produce recognition-impact review, state machine, decision table, event schema, control checklist, and launch gate.

When not to use

• Do not use for generic advice the base model already handles without this skill's specific artifact contract.
