How much unresolved variance work is being carried forward after first review?
Operator Story
A cash variance is not automatically a cash problem. It can be missing proof, timing, a drawer count issue, a vague note, or a repeat pattern. When those cases stay unresolved after first review, finance inherits a cold trail. This calculator estimates the burden while the workflow is still repairable.
Use the result to decide whether the next step is threshold tuning, reason categories, owner routing, or a smaller pilot focused only on over-short review.
