Worked example

The claim that would have expired

Copperline Mechanical — the same HVAC contractor, ~30 warranty parts a year

A compressor fails under manufacturer warranty. The tech swaps it and moves on — that's the job. Whether anyone files the distributor claim inside its window decides whether the reimbursement exists. Documented windows run as short as 45 days, and a late claim is a denied claim.

This walkthrough follows a sample business. Where the engine is deterministic (statutory checklists, the filing calendar, the report arithmetic), the artifacts below are its actual output for the sample inputs — your dates and dollars come from your own setup.

1 · The replacement gets logged in 30 seconds

Item, brand, replacement date, estimated value. The filing deadline computes from the distributor's stated window.

Item
Compressor, 3-ton condenser

2 · The window alarms before it closes

Unfiled claims inside a week of deadline hit the daily scan. An expired window is money gone for good, so the alarm errs early.

Daily health scan

⚠ WARN · Warranty claim windows: Copperline/Compressor, 3-ton condenser due Aug 16 ($385)

3 · Filed → approved → paid, each with a date

The claim moves through its lifecycle on the ledger — so the one a distributor is sitting on is as visible as the one nobody filed.

4 · Recovered dollars, tallied

The proof number is the client's own: reimbursements actually banked. We deliberately publish no "industry loses $X to unclaimed warranties" statistic — none exists that survives verification.

The takeaway

Money that used to just never appear now has a ledger, a deadline, and a paid date.
