## When to Use This Skill

Accessorial charges, mode mix, and lane benchmarking recovering recurring overspend.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Reconcile invoices against rated quotes automatically where possible
2. Pareto accessorials: detention and reweight usually dominate recoverables
3. Analyze mode misuse: air freight that missed a boat by two days
4. Benchmark top lanes against market indices quarterly
5. Fix root causes: packaging specs reducing dim-weight rewrites
6. Claim recoverable charges within carrier contract windows religiously

## Common Pitfalls

- Approving invoices without rate verification ever
- Accessorials treated as noise rather than signal
