Owner Intelligence · QA

Four critical violations, five for attention, two for information. The digest compared a food-court location with the network average, where most locations are restaurants. One paragraph carried two deviations of the same metric on different bases. The advisor wrote «verdict: failure» where the rules allow only a fact and a question.

All closed within a day in prompts and code: the location format is printed next to every location, the deviation moves into the headline and is not repeated, the record baseline is a four-week median, verdicts are banned at system level. Older messages kept surfacing in the audit for a week as history, not regression.

The second run two days later found a false positive in the check itself: it counted profitability rows as locations. The auditor needs auditing too.

The report showed minus 93% on a delivery channel across every location in two cities. The owner checked the POS for one location: the channel had produced normal revenue for the month. The cause sat in the POS: since June that aggregator's orders arrive as a different order type with a source field, and the old query could not see them.

The real picture: minus 40% in July, then stable. POS query wrappers now fetch the source field and fold the channel themselves, and a one-location POS check became mandatory before any «channel fell» conclusion.
