When the draft is already in the room
Sometimes the draft is already written. A plan of about 40 pages, usually for a grant or a partner, and a spreadsheet that was built later by someone else. They do not match. A sentence promises a hire the sheet does not pay. A cell carries a price the document never mentions. The meeting is close, and rewriting the whole thing would miss it.
That is the audit. Eight working days. The fee we quote in the reply is 860 EUR, confirmed in EUR or MDL before we mark anything. It is not a new plan. If the files cannot be saved and you need a full pack, we say that in the first reply rather than discovering it on day seven.
What gets marked
We read both files. Every sentence that states a number has to point at a cell. Every cell that would change the decision has to appear in a sentence, or be cut. The marked copies come back with those gaps visible. Where the structure of the workbook can be saved, we repair the links so a change in one driver moves the totals. Where the sheet is a stack of typed numbers, we say so, and we do not pretend a coat of formatting made it a model.
You also get a list of questions the meeting is likely to ask. Not a script. The questions we write down are the ones the mismatch itself suggests: which wage is missing, which price is the last invoice, which month the cash is thinnest. People in the room tend to ask those whether or not we list them. The list is so you are not hearing them for the first time.
What we will not do in eight days
We will not invent a market. We will not turn a grant narrative into a different business. We will not put your name on this site afterwards. The work happens in Room Sfatul, on two or three calls of ninety minutes, unless you are already in Chișinău and want an afternoon at the long table. That afternoon is a hall day, priced apart, and only if the sheet is far enough along to pin.
If the draft on your desk and the sheet in your folder were written apart, send both. The reply will say whether eight days is honest, or whether the meeting date asks for something smaller: a marked reading and a list of questions, with the repair left for later.
