TEST 4: Psychological Impact Analysis
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BEFORE Implementation (OLD):
  ❌ User sees: 'Grace Period Until: December 31'
  ❌ User thinks: 'I have 16 days, no rush'
  ❌ Result: Procrastination, delayed payments

AFTER Implementation (NEW):
  ✅ User sees: 'Payment Deadline: December 25'
  ✅ User thinks: 'Only 10 days left, must pay now!'
  ✅ Result: Urgency, prompt payments

Grace Period Strategy:
  ✓ Kept in system (backend functionality intact)
  ✓ Hidden from users before deadline
  ✓ Revealed only after deadline as 'last chance'
  ✓ Maintains system flexibility without encouraging procrastination
