Finance punch list

One place for cancellations, cost reductions and the Stripe to GoCardless migration. Bookmark this page; updates keep the same address.

Your ongoing finance punch list, updated as provider outcomes are verified. Last updated October 30, 2026. Checked items mean the stated action is complete; they do not imply a bank-verified saving.

Current punch list

Savings and accounting

Item Amount Meaning
Avoided subscription renewals $702.30/month Gross estimate; $8,427.60 annual equivalent. Not bank-verified realized savings. No GLM Lite replacement bought.
Stripe to GoCardless $874.13/month Separate modeled saving; $10,489.56 annual equivalent. No migration completed.
Deleted Workspace seats Billing verification pending Skippy and Neeko deleted. Nico scheduled. Seat commitment and invoice effects must be checked before adding savings.

Keep fixed monthly prices, annual equivalents, variable usage, prepaid top-ups, refunds and one-time purchases separate. Do not add modeled savings to realized savings.

Stripe to GoCardless

Actual Stripe card history covers July 29–October 28, 2026; the last day was partial at retrieval. There were 127 charge attempts, 115 successful payments and 241 balance transactions. Successful payments totaled $102,289.68 gross and $3,032.81 actual charge-linked fees.

The model uses 108 payments with US billing and US-issued cards, totaling $100,167.33 gross. Geography is a candidate filter, not proof of bank-debit eligibility. Nick accepts GoCardless pricing as a working assumption; do not restart contract/access investigation.

US candidate group Three months Monthly average
Actual Stripe fees $2,937.33 $979.11
Modeled GoCardless fees $314.94 $104.98
Modeled saving $2,622.39 $874.13

Model: domestic GoCardless Standard at 0.5% + $0.05, capped at $5 per payment. Extra fees, failures, refunds, disputes, FX, migration effort and remaining billing software costs are excluded. Actual Stripe fees were used rather than reconstructed card pricing.

Stripe Capital remains separate: $19,527.54 payable at the October 28 inspection. Original advance $21,000; fixed fee $2,016; total due $23,016. Repayment was 6.4% per transaction with a $2,557.34 minimum every 60 days; the then-current minimum was met. Moving processors does not cancel this debt. Principal repayment is not a processing fee or saving.

The model and customer estimates from the original Stripe to GoCardless report are preserved above. Receivables remain outside this punch list.

Completed actions

Canva and Refero were removed from this action list by Nick; no cancellation is claimed. OpenArt is leave-alone. Passive Rebel $27 was one-time. Drive cleanup belongs to another session and is excluded.

Further cost review

These are review candidates, not cancellation instructions. Keep account and billing cadence separate.

Update this same page as evidence changes. Preserve user holds and completed actions; record provider verification separately from bank settlement. No automatic polling or new subscription was created.
