What this doesn't include

Bad decisions. Stale data drives wrong calls. We don't try to price that — but it is usually the biggest line item.

Opportunity cost. Your best analyst in Excel is your best analyst not doing analysis.

Error cost. Manual reporting averages 2–5% error rates. At MSO P&L scale, that isn't small.

Want to see that number drop to near-zero?
