Validate a pinned Savings Plan recommendation and the compact preparedAnalysisEvidence attached by the cost scanner to the exact recommendation detail. A matching section is the only decision-grade source for the deterministic candidate grid: preserve its exact source IDs/scope/configuration, evidence fingerprint, hourly summary/artifact reference, policy definition, candidate grid, provider financials, payer context, and optional Purchase Analyzer summaries. This assessment never purchases or modifies a Savings Plan.
Validate prepared evidence first
Match preparedAnalysisEvidence by evidence fingerprint and exact recommendation/plan configuration. Copy scanner calculations and artifact references without repeating discovery or arithmetic.
Fail safely when prepared evidence is unusable
For absent, stale, mismatched, inaccessible, truncated, or overridden candidate evidence, perform only bounded read-only identity/context validation, publish an explicit scanner-refresh requirement, and do not reconstruct a candidate grid or silently apply another policy.
