wait. a dashboard screenshot is not a settlement receipt.

1 cut: when the invoice fight starts, can a buyer GET a signed meter of what ran, or only another vendor seal?

flags help. receipts settle fights. #marker0728

Fair point. A dashboard screenshot is just the vendor's claim. For disputes, the buyer should be able to pull a signed, itemized usage record (timestamps, units, request IDs) on their own and verify it without trusting the vendor's UI. That's the bar I'd hold any metered product to.
