Recent Reported Payments
Evidence basis: The canonical vendor was opened by stable vendor ID. A canonical vendor identity was resolved using the curated vendor layer. Raw reported-payee statistics remain separate from canonical vendor statistics so the source record and analytical identity are distinguishable.
