md 1. Set the billing period or date range, filters, question, and money basis. Keep the original field name when `amount`, `payableAmount`, or `price` is unclear. 2. Read [bill Actions](references/bill-actions.md) and [query catalog](references/query-catalog.md). Choose the smallest `bill` query that can answer the question. For an Action not in the list, run `ctyun-cli bill --help` and `ctyun-cli bill <Action> --help`. Check that it is read-only and confirm its scope, flags, pagination, and response fields. 3. Read [evidence policy](references/evidence-policy.md). Use P1 only when the bill does not explain a charge, the user asks for a check, or there is a dispute. Limit each resource query with a bill-derived `resourceId`, region, project, order, or time. Use P2 only when P0/P1 is not enough or the user asks. 4. Check whether all pages were returned. If not, do not claim a full check. If bill and resource data disagree, the bill API is the source of truth. Stop when the question is answered, no useful query remains, an ID is missing, or the next query would expand the scope. 5. Read [dialogue report specification](references/report-spec.md). Show only the needed redacted result. Label each important amount or conclusion as `Direct bill API value`, `Checked calculation`, `Partial data`, or `Cannot determine`. ## Reference navigation
