The question you did not prepare for
Departmental review, twenty-two people, and the operations lead has a figure of yours in front of her that you cannot immediately verify. You will be in this room again next month.
Branching, and constrained: an early decision closes options later on. There is no undo inside a run. That is the point of running one rather than reading about it.
Thursday, 14:40. The slide behind you says uptake rose 31 per cent. Amara from operations, who built the reporting pipeline, says: "Where does 31 come from? Our system says something closer to 19."
You know your figure came from the regional extract and hers comes from the central one, and you know they count re-registrations differently. You do not know which of the two is right, and you do not have the reconciliation in front of you.
Your first move.
