01
Close the gap between reporting and action.
Working hypothesis: disconnected evidence
Different definitions. Repeated handoffs. Unclear ownership.
Proposed: one traceable resolution path
Shared rules. Named owners. Evidence at every step.
02
Turn a mismatch into a managed decision.
Illustrative workflow01 / DEFINE
Agree the rule
One metric. One population. One reporting date.
02 / DETECT
Surface the gap
Compare approved extracts. Link the source records.
03 / RESOLVE
Route to an owner
Human review. Correction in the source system.
04 / MEASURE
Verify the result
Refresh the evidence. Log closure and elapsed time.
03
Measure operational value before scaling.
