# Operator Revenue Integrity In an operating-rights or revenue-share arrangement (经营权共创), the operator reports the revenue that determines what they owe. That number is the single figure in the whole relationship they have a direct incentive to understate, and it arrives with no adversarial review attached. The naive check is to compare declared revenue against the operator's own POS or payment records. That is not verification — POS terminals, payment QR codes, and bookkeeping are all inside the operator's control. An operator routing customers to a personal payment code (私账) produces POS records that are internally consistent and understated at the same time. Consistency with a source the counterparty controls is not evidence. **Only signals outside the operator's control are independent evidence**: utility meters, door-access and parking logs, foot-traffic counters, delivery-platform settlement records (paid by the platform, not the operator), and inventory deliveries visible to the landlord. Verification means checking the declared figure against those, and treating a gap as a finding rather than noise. ## Workflow 1. **Inventory the evidence by who controls it.** Before computing anything, split available data into operator-controlled (declared revenue, POS, own bookkeeping) and independent (utilities, access logs, foot traffic, platform settlements, inventory). If nothing independent is available, say so and stop — a verification report built only from
