Test 2: Reconciling card and payout income

Being built

Each model gets a month of an invented merchant group's settlement files, bank lines, ledger and acquirer contract, and has to find and value every difference. The data has known breaks planted in it, plus timing differences that shouldn't be flagged. Models are scored on money missed and false alarms, against cost per run, over three runs.
