## What the calendar shows

The calendar groups business spend events by date and month. The header summarizes:

* Monthly SaaS spend
* Potential savings
* Review count
* Renewal count

Each day can show vendor events such as renewals, trial conversions, review items, and other SaaS spend events.

## Event types and statuses

Calendar events can represent different kinds of work:

| Event signal     | Meaning                                                         |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Renewal          | A subscription or vendor relationship is coming up for renewal. |
| Trial conversion | A trial may convert into paid spend.                            |
| Review           | A vendor or charge needs a human decision.                      |
| Needs review     | The event has enough signal to inspect but is not resolved.     |
| Assigned         | An owner has been assigned to follow up.                        |

Event styling should help teams spot urgency, but the decision still depends on the evidence attached to the event.

## Transaction detail overlay

Opening a calendar event shows a full-screen detail overlay with the event, vendor, account, transaction, and opportunity context available for that item.

Useful details include:

* Vendor name, category, logo, and website
* Amount, cadence, and confidence
* Source transaction and account
* Recurring pattern details when available
* Related savings opportunity
* Evidence and status

## How teams should use it

Use the calendar as a review queue, not just a spend report:

1. Start with renewals and trial conversions this month.
2. Open events marked needs review or assigned.
3. Check the evidence and confidence.
4. Assign an owner or due date when a human decision is needed.
5. Move approved savings actions into the audit workflow.
