Check whether the outcome improved
Define sequence assertions
Write expected order, partition, start, reset condition, missing-period treatment, value at each row, label, and export cell. State whether the series is calendar, group, or lifetime cumulative. A pass requires the reset boundary to be discoverable by a reviewer.
Exercise resets and filters
Run two groups, reset edge, missing period, reordered input, and filtered subset fixtures through every supported surface. Compare sequence, totals, annotations, and labels. Confirm that a filter changes the intended series scope rather than only hiding earlier points.
Review the running story
Ask a reviewer to explain where the series starts, when it resets, and how a missing period affects the next value. Preserve fixture, filter state, report revision, and evidence. Record a bounded outcome when a chart is correct but omits context available in the table or export.
What to carry forward
Verification passes when cumulative values follow the documented order, partition, and reset rule across reviewed surfaces. Report a bounded pass for unsupported missing-period cases. Keep verification inconclusive when a later point depends on an invisible carryover or an export hides the reset basis.
