Monthly Commission Validation Agent

Each month, affiliate managers must approve commissions before payout, and paying on returned or fraudulent orders wastes budget. This agent pulls pending commissions and order records and matches each commission to its order: was it paid, returned or cancelled? Self-referrals and coupon use from unauthorized sites are reversed. Partial returns reduce commission pro rata. It flags patterns such as many orders from one IP address or orders at odd hours for review. It drafts reversals with reasons. It then checks that the payout total reconciles with order records and the finance budget; if not, it finds unmatched commissions and investigates. The manager approves reversals and the payout. Edge case: a partial return reduces commission pro rata instead of reversing it all.
