Payment reconciliation

Cork sponsor payment proof before publication.

Payment reconciliation plan for moving an approved Cork sponsor booking from manual review to publication without leaking live payment links or promising inventory before proof exists.

Do not create public payment links, collect money, reserve sponsor dates, publish sponsor copy, email subscribers or contact prospects until David approves the exact advertiser, package, dates and payment route.
