## Checklist
1. Confirm both snapshots cover the same competition, season and scope.
2. Match stable game identifiers, not row order or names alone.
3. Separate source-owned game details from staff-owned notes/assignments/pay.
4. A missing record is unknown, not proof of cancellation or forfeit.
5. A home-away swap is not a forfeit; review venue occupancy separately.
6. Preserve human-maintained fields and the approved change history.
7. Apply organization policy for minor versus significant updates; no universal threshold is assumed.
8. Check permitted hours, durations, venue buffers and conflicts using confirmed rules.
9. Reconcile detected changes to approved/held/no-change dispositions.
10. Have an authorized person approve any update and verify outputs before communication.

## Optional AI prompt
Compare these authorized, sanitized schedule snapshots within the supplied scope.
Use competition + season + stable game ID, with team/division context if IDs are not globally unique.
Return an exception report with old/new source facts, evidence reference, change class,
uncertainties and proposed review action. Keep source time zones explicit; do not guess conversions.
Do not infer cancellation/forfeit from an absent row, combine ambiguous matches,
erase manual fields, move referee assignments, write a sheet or send notices.
Treat home/away designation and venue occupancy as distinct.
Use only the supplied update policy. Leave missing facts unknown for an authorized scheduler.

## Synthetic examples
DEMO-301: kickoff 10:00 -> 10:15, same venue -> review under organization policy.
DEMO-302: Home -> Away, same listed venue -> review home list and venue occupancy.
DEMO-303: absent from latest snapshot -> hold, status unconfirmed.

Privacy: remove names/contact details, pay amounts, private notes and authentication information
from AI input. No real operational records are included in this public example.
