Your starting prompt.

Compare contracted ARR in our CRM with billing ARR as of [date]. Normalize monthly and annual recurring charges using [ARR policy], join accounts through the supplied mapping, and explain the difference by timing, cancellation, discount, missing subscription or unmatched account. Create an account-level bridge that adds to the total difference. Exclude one-time fees and label uncertain mappings for review.

Copy this starting point, then replace the placeholders with your own inputs.

Method and review

Keep the assumptions visible.

Agree on identifiers, currency, periods and account mappings before comparing totals. Keep unmatched records and timing differences visible instead of forcing a match.

For this task, check

Confirm treatment of usage charges, discounts and future contracts before interpreting the ARR gap.

AccountContract ARRBilling ARRContract less billing
A-1$12,000$12,000$0
A-2$24,000$18,000$6,000
A-3$6,000$0$6,000

Method

Annualize monthly recurring charges × 12 and keep annual charges unchanged. Exclude one-time fees. Account differences sum to $12,000: $42,000 contracted less $30,000 billing ARR.

What the result tells you

A-2 needs a discount or timing explanation; the records alone do not establish the cause. A-3 has no supplied subscription. ARR is a defined recurring measure, not cash collected.
