# Trace the royalty statement

An illustrative explanation of the selected contract, not an execution result.

![Atlas’s synthetic licenses and activity lead to earned royalties, advances and recoupment, and contributor obligations. Prior corrections enter the obligations, while settled-payment records feed payment reconciliation. Earned, owed and paid remain distinct in the draft statement, with unresolved holds visible.](https://openprose.ai/contract-views/v1/royalty-statements/7f814a9bd37c9b5491bf115cab44cecc992914a2f70ea19f13f8c4d43b32f6d7.png)

The fictional Atlas June and quarter-close commission starts with licenses, activity, sales and prior balances under identified terms and a fixed evidence cutoff. License disposition and reconciled activity establish the units and monetary bases entering royalty calculation. Excluded or uncertain uses remain visible.

Earned royalties then pass through the selected floors, advances and recoupment rules before contributor allocation. These stages describe different quantities: earnings, contractual liability, allocable amounts, recipient obligations, holds and settled cash. A matching final cash figure cannot excuse an incorrect intermediate relationship.

Prior-period corrections enter as supported deltas while preserving the original history. They must not duplicate earlier payments or corrupt current counters. Settlement records reconcile the resulting recipient obligations; a drafted statement is not evidence that a transfer occurred.

Source correspondence:

- [Royalty statement](https://pkg.prose.md/releases/0.4.0-rc.1/royalties/contracts/royalty-statement.md) requires the connected quantity layers and shared rights, period, currency and beneficiary boundaries represented here.
- [Atlas's June statement commission](https://pkg.prose.md/releases/0.4.0-rc.1/royalties/tests/statement/program.md) selects the fictional records, terms, marginal-rate model, correction and settlement population.
- [Guarantees and recoupment](https://pkg.prose.md/releases/0.4.0-rc.1/royalties/contracts/guarantees-recoupment.md) and [Payment reconciliation](https://pkg.prose.md/releases/0.4.0-rc.1/royalties/contracts/payment-reconciliation.md) govern the two distinct transitions highlighted in the drawing.

The image aggregates detailed license and usage findings and omits numerical rates, earnings and allocation calculations. It also omits the precise ordering of every correction or currency conversion; the selected terms govern those details. No contributor amount, resolved ownership claim or completed payment is asserted. Unmatched shares, disputed uses and other holds need explicit treatment rather than invented resolution. Any separately commissioned delivery, posting or payment requires its own authority, capabilities and observable evidence.
