Monthly revenue report by region from a messy sales export

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Build me a monthly revenue report by region from this export - regions down the side, months across - as an Excel file with live formulas (report.xlsx), plus a short memo.md with the three things I should know.

Workspace

  • sales_export.csv

Expected deliverables

  • memo.md
  • report.xlsx

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
