Not every positive functional defined on bi-variate polynomials of a prescribed degree bound is represented by the integration against a positive measure. We isolate a couple of conditions filling this gap, either by restricting the class of polynomials to harmonic ones, or imposing the vanishing of a defect indicator. Both criteria offer constructive cubature formulas and they are obtained via well known matrix analysis techniques involving either the dilation of a contractive matrix to a unitary one or the specific structure of the Hessenberg matrix associated to the multiplier by the underlying complex variable.
