  "kind": "template",
  "body": "Freeze the selected input population and assign each identity to one mutually exclusive status at a stated cutoff. Include pending and unaccounted states instead of hiding them inside success. This is population accounting; successful accounting is not proof that the resulting field values are correct.",
  "limits": [
    "Retries and duplicate inputs require a defined counting unit. Do not mix business identities, attempts and message counts in one equation."

  "example": "A 200-record run has 183 applied, 9 rejected and 8 pending. It is fully accounted for, but it is not 200 successful updates.",
