Planning-status vocabulary

What is the difference between planned, assigned, reserved, and paid?

Planned or assigned describes an intention recorded in Finsway. Reserved, transferred, and paid describe separate real-world states. A planning interface cannot prove that those external actions occurred.

Planned

Planned means the owner has recorded an intended purpose for an amount. It describes a decision inside the plan, not a completed bank or payment action.

Assigned

Assigned means an amount has been directed to a named purpose within the Finsway plan. The label does not establish that money was separated in a bank account.

Reserved

Reserved should describe a real-world state only when the owner has independently taken and confirmed the action they use to reserve funds. Finsway cannot infer or verify that state from a planning assignment alone.

Transferred

Transferred means money moved between real accounts or recipients. Finsway does not initiate transfers and a planning screen cannot prove that one occurred.

Paid

Paid means the intended recipient received or was sent the money through a separate payment process. Finsway is not a payment service and does not confirm payment completion.

Why the distinction matters

Keeping planning language separate from real-world payment language prevents an intention from being mistaken for completed action. Review external records before treating a planned amount as reserved, transferred, or paid.
