So prüfe ich
Priya rebuilds every fee table from the agent's published schedule and then checks it against the invoice for our own basket. Where a fee is conditional, she records the condition instead of a single number. She reports medians from three runs and flags any run that sits more than 20 percent off the median rather than hiding it in an average.
