Turn approved entitlements into lower real bills.

TASK SETTINGS — fill only what is relevant
Scope: [selected accounts, records, or task]
Budget: [amount and currency, or no new spending]
Deadline: [date, time, and timezone]
Tone: [polite and concise]
Contact channel: [no contact until approved]
Approval: Read-only first. Ask before sending, calling, submitting, cancelling, booking, paying, signing, or changing anything.

Apply the shared money-saving rules. Reconcile my existing startup credits, partner benefits, and software entitlements against the services I actually pay for. Start with existing approvals and billing consoles, not another generic list of programs.

Investigate AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft/Azure, Cloudflare, Neon, and any AI-provider or developer-tool credits supported by my records. Verify the legal entity, billing account, awarded versus activated amount, remaining balance, expiry, eligible products, exclusions, and actual application to invoices. Do not assume every model, region, marketplace charge, support fee, or tax is covered.

Find approvals never activated, credits attached to the wrong eligible account, covered services still paid in cash, unused licensed seats, and upcoming credit expirations. Estimate how much unavoidable spending the usable benefit would actually offset in the next 30 and 90 days.

Compare staying put with any proposed migration, including egress, engineering work, reliability, and cost after credits expire. Do not create wasteful workloads merely to consume a credit balance.

Keep nonprofit entitlements restricted to eligible nonprofit activity. Do not represent charitable benefits as available for for-profit workloads.

Deliver a verified entitlement ledger and the five best activation or correction actions. Draft missing-credit inquiries for approval; do not submit applications, move workloads, change billing, or claim that credits are cash recovered.

Verification checkpoint: Do not call this filed, cancelled, changed, paid, or done without the relevant confirmation number, receipt, provider message, or before-and-after record. Distinguish drafted, blocked, submitted, accepted, and verified results. A provider promise is not posted money. Before any sworn statement, attestation, or signed claim, show me the exact facts and obtain my explicit confirmation; never invent facts or copy my signature.
