Find the money you’re owed
A fixed-scope audit of your revenue statements against contracts, production data, and price benchmarks. Unauthorized deductions, volume shortfalls, and pricing errors — quantified, evidenced, and signed off by a human reviewer.
In Texas, most royalty claims are barred after 4 years. In Colorado, wrongfully withheld proceeds accrue interest at 2× the KC Fed discount rate (C.R.S. § 34-60-118.5). Statutory references are informational, not legal advice.
Every line checked. Every variance surfaced.
The agent reconciles each statement against the contract — severance rates, gathering caps, transport terms, owner splits — and highlights the discrepancies as your team reviews.

What the diagnostic audits
A defined statement window — typically your most recent statements across all wells and operators, extendable back toward the limitations horizon. Every line item is in scope: deductions, volumes, prices, tax withholding, and owner splits.
Sampling is how underpayment survives. The diagnostic reads every line of every statement in the window, so systematic patterns — the same unauthorized charge repeating monthly — can’t hide between spot checks.
Revenue statements, check stubs, and production data in any format — PDF, Excel, CSV, scans. AI field mapping normalizes every operator layout into one ledger.
Every deduction is mapped to the contract clause that authorizes it. Volumes are checked against state filings; prices against index benchmarks.
A deterministic rules layer re-verifies each flagged variance — the math, the dates, the statute exposure — before it can enter a findings draft.
An AGR reviewer examines every finding, approves or rejects it, and signs the report. Nothing reaches you without a named human behind it.
Findings Report
Line-item variances with the contract clause, the statement charge, the calculation, and the quantified impact — including statutory interest exposure where Colorado law applies.
Evidence Package
Contract excerpts, statement extracts, benchmark data, and calculation worksheets, cross-referenced and organized so the claim survives scrutiny.
Draft Correspondence
Operator demand and inquiry letters drafted for your review. Decision authority stays with you; nothing is sent on your behalf.
A defined statement sample. You see real findings before committing to anything larger.
Priced from statement count and well count agreed before work begins — no open meter.
Where you engage AGR to support pursuing confirmed findings, fees may be tied to recovery.
Contingency structures offered only where state law permits. Statutory references are informational, not legal advice.
AI-drafted. Rules-checked. Human-approved.
AI Agents
Agents draft the analysis — statement parsing, ledger triage, correspondence — at a volume no manual team matches.
Deterministic Rules
Every draft passes a fixed rules layer: statute citations, math, dates, and claims are checked mechanically, not probabilistically.
Human Sign-Off
Nothing leaves AGR without a named reviewer approving it. The sign-off is logged and auditable.
Diagnostic FAQ
A defined statement window across your wells: every deduction line, reported volume, and posted price is checked against contract terms, production data, and index benchmarks. You receive a findings report that quantifies each confirmed variance with the supporting evidence.
In Texas, the statute of limitations bars most royalty underpayment claims after four years — statement months age out of recoverability continuously. In Colorado, wrongfully withheld proceeds accrue interest at twice the Kansas City Fed discount rate under C.R.S. § 34-60-118.5, which becomes part of the quantified finding. Statutory references are informational, not legal advice.
The analysis maps each deduction to the specific clause governing it, including COPAS-standard and regional variations. Ambiguous language is flagged for your review rather than silently interpreted.
A findings report with line-item variances, contract cross-references, quantified impact including statutory interest exposure, and draft operator correspondence — all reviewed and signed off by an AGR reviewer before delivery.
Yes. Once contract baselines and deduction profiles are established, new statements are checked as they arrive and deviations are flagged early, before they compound into multi-year patterns.
The diagnostic produces the evidence package and draft correspondence; decision authority stays with you. Where you engage AGR to support recovery pursuit, fees may be structured on contingency where state law permits.
