Reality
In reality, it requires seeing the work behind numbers, hearing context, and making change understandable on the floor.
Hidden work
Hidden work includes hearing the same event from different teams, checking data sources, and forming a workable question.
Challenge
The real flow on the floor may differ from the spreadsheet; understanding the gap without blame is difficult.
Exception
If data is missing, the assumption is labeled instead of presenting a conclusion, and a new question is opened.
