A cost saving is invalid if it widens account access, removes approval, changes audience targeting, or causes duplicate/public posts. Prerequisites An approved budget, account inventory, baseline API/quota metrics, and named owner for each social profile. A sandbox/draft-only rehearsal, rollback revision for schedule/cache/concurrency, and an approval path for any audience change. Instructions 1. Measure aggregate publish, schedule, retry, and quota counts before proposing a control; never export unpublished copy merely to assess cost. 2. Classify candidates as duplicate, expired, nonessential, or owner-review, retaining draft and approval state. 3. Dry-run the change against draft-only content, compare aggregate counts and approval/audience assertions, then canary one non-production profile. 4. Promote only with owner approval; roll back for duplicate posting, target drift, approval bypass, or increased failures. 5. State savings as a range and preserve a reversible schedule/configuration revision. Output Return a cost-change receipt with baseline/projected counts, control revision, owner approval, draft/canary result, approval/audience assertions, savings range, and rollback reference. Exclude copy, tokens, and account identities. Error Handling Stop for unknown profile, destination, audience, approval state, or an attempt to apply a cost control directly to public content. Revert to the prior schedule/configuration rather than bypass review. …
