Detention Check
Turning a POD (plus rate con or free-time defaults) into authorized detention hours, estimated dollars, and a dispute draft in under 60 seconds.
Detention Check answers one urgent question: how much detention is authorized with evidence? It extracts timestamps and free-time terms, applies deterministic math, and returns hours, estimated dollars, and dispute-ready language. It is narrower than full freight invoice audit — which still matches invoice ↔ rate confirmation for the pay decision.
