Andy forensic utility bill audit

Every charge recomputed against the tariff in force.

Andy ingests a stack of commercial statements, rebuilds each billing determinant from the applicable tariff, and returns the full audit package — bill register, forensic report, findings reference, and a refund demand ready for your review and signature.

It does not forward findings. Every line it raises carries the tariff basis it was tested against, so you can confirm or discard it before anything goes to the utility.

The demand rate and the ratchet percentage are read from the tariff in force for the service period, not from the statement. Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the finding.

Who can run it

Andy is sold to individually certified auditors and to nobody else. Not to brokers, not to property managers, not to facility staff, not to the public. Every job is tied to a verified CUBA certification, and seats are per person rather than per firm.

The reason is narrow: what Andy produces is a well-constructed hypothesis about where a utility got it wrong. Materiality, remedy, and whether to raise a finding at all are judgment calls, and the demand letter goes out over a human signature that has to hold up when the utility pushes back.
