Reconcile Stock Movement Before Calling a Gap Shrinkage
A missing unit is not automatically theft. Compare a movement-adjusted expected balance with the physical count, then price the signed difference to prioritize reconciliation.

FIRST-LOAD
Research prototype — checkout unavailable. Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the stocktake variance packet: your item | expected closing units | counted closing units stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Comparing opening stock directly with the count makes legitimate sales look like loss. After: the stocktake variance packet shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Boundary and sources
Reconciliation arithmetic only, not accounting, tax, legal or fraud advice. Validate records with the responsible bookkeeper before posting adjustments or making allegations.
- Method: Cost variance = (expected minus counted) × unit cost. Three missing mugs at 8 cost 24; two extra bowls offset that by −16. The sample net is 8, but both rows still need review.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this stocktake variance packet, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a stocktake variance packet. Return plain rows only: item | expected closing units | counted closing units. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: item | expected closing units | counted closing units. No AI response is executed as code.
