With an eye toward the usual unphysical divergence of hard fixed-order\ncorrections in predictions for the processes probed in high energy colliding\nhadron beam devices as one approaches the soft limit, we present a new approach\nto the realization of such corrections, with some emphasis on the LHC and the\nfuture FCC devices. We show that the respective divergence is removed in our\napproach. This means that we would render the standard results to be closer to\nthe observed exclusive distributions. While we stress that the approach has\ngeneral applicability, we use the single Z and virtual gamma production and\ndecay to lepton pairs as our prototypical example. Accordingly, our work opens\nanother part of the way to rigorous baselines for the determination of the\ntheoretical precision tags for LHC physics, with an attendant generalization to\nthe future FCC.\n
