Sample report · Look-back packet builder · fictional sample data

Sample data. This is the unedited report Look-back packet builder produced on its bundled sample files, which describe a fictional business, run the same way a subscriber's upload is run (as of 2026-10-01). No AI model and no person touched it. Your own results depend on the exports you upload.

The full download also contains: packet/00_cover_sheet.html, packet/01_coverage.csv, packet/02_monthly_summary.csv, packet/03_items_to_explain.csv, packet/04_large_deposits.csv, packet/05_internal_transfers.csv, packet/06_all_transactions.csv, packet/07_document_checklist.md, report.html.

This packet organizes bank records for a Medicaid application. It is not legal advice and not an eligibility decision. Look-back length and rules vary by state: most states look back 60 months, but some use a different period, so check your state's current rule. Whether a transfer causes a penalty is decided by the Medicaid agency, not by this tool.

Limits: we read only the bank CSV files uploaded. A month with no transactions looks the same as a missing statement, so each one needs confirming. Categories come from transaction descriptions and can miss or over-flag items; a person should review every row before the packet is submitted.
