Verbatim observations from the audit. Not paraphrased.

Spotify: log into spotify.com/account, Change Plan, scroll to Spotify Free, Cancel Premium. Period-end cancellation; no retention puzzle.

How we measure

Each signal is observable telemetry — click counts, modal counts, wall-clock time, DOM presence checks. We don't apply interpretive judgment to the operator's intent; we report what was measured.
