Synthetic demonstration · illustrative figures. Your report separates verified amounts from modeled estimates.
The standard
Every figure is classified — and carries its evidence.
We keep verified findings separate from modeled estimates, flag anomalies for your review, and never invent a number. Each figure travels with its source, formula, and confidence.
- Verified loss
- Modeled loss
- Suspected anomaly
- Missed opportunity
- Data blind spot
Sample findings
The kind of money we find
Suspected anomaly
4.07% effective (vs 3.31% standard)
Processing fees settle at two different rates
Half of card charges settle above the standard rate, raising true blended cost.
Missed opportunity

Best-margin product out of stock 34 days
The highest-margin SKU sat out of stock through a high-demand window.
Watch it find the money
Six techniques. One synthetic store.
This is the actual work — each leak traced from your data, quantified, and classified. Pick a technique, or let it run.
Verified lossSynthetic specimen
The bank received less than your orders say.

- Processing fees

- Expected payout

- Actual bank deposit

Unreconciled gap−$168
We reconcile every order and fee against the actual deposit. No built-in report ties payouts back to orders — so gaps like this settle silently.
Recommended
Investigate the $168 gap against the payout statement before it recurs.
Your store, roughly

Enter a few rough numbers for a conservative, clearly-labeled illustration. The real audit replaces these generic assumptions with your actual data — and separates verified from modeled.
Mini profit-leak estimator
Illustrative estimateEnter a few rough figures to see a conservative illustration of where profit can leak. This is based only on the numbers you type and generic assumptions — it is not a real finding, not a verified result, and not based on any data from your store.
A rough monthly average is fine.

- Refund-related leakage

- Discount-related leakage

- Fees & payout discrepancies
- $150
5% of $3,000 refunded — e.g. duplicate refunds, unreclaimed fees, preventable returns
8% of $5,000 in discounts — e.g. stacked or automatic codes eroding margin
0.3% of $50,000 revenue — typical untracked fee & payout differences
How this is calculated: each line multiplies a figure you entered by the conservative percentage shown beside it, then adds the results. The assumptions are generic industry-style placeholders, not measurements of your store. This estimate is illustrative only — it is not a promise, not a verified result, and not a real audit finding. A real audit replaces these assumptions with your actual data and separates verified figures from modeled ones.

FAQ
Questions merchants ask first
Is LeakLedger an app I install?
No. LeakLedger is a remote financial audit service, not software you install. You do not buy or log into any app, and it works no matter which platform you sell and get paid on. We are an independent service, not affiliated with any commerce or payments platform.
Do you need my password?
Never. LeakLedger will never ask for your password, your two-factor authentication codes, your session cookies, or private API credentials for any platform. Anyone who asks for those is not us.
How is access provided?
You either export your own data and send it to us, or grant scoped, read-oriented access that you approve from your own account. Either way there is no shared password, you stay in control, and you can revoke access at any time.
