SIMULATED OPERATIONS DATACedar Peak Software · 90 days · Agency contribution

The cross-sell adds revenue. The margin assumes reuse that isn't ready.

Fictional demonstration—not a diagnosis of Big Leap's operations.

1The owner question

Should we approve the Cedar Peak expansion delivery plan as estimated?

2What each team sees

Sales

$72,000 fees, $36,000 contribution — a strong cross-sell.

Delivery

Pages need redevelopment; launch coordination is unassigned.

Finance

Recurring delivery cost matches the statement of work.

Each team's report looks fine. Connecting them changes the decision.

4What does not reconcile

Missing costOmitted dependency
  • RECORDAsset register shows pages need redevelopment; setup estimate is $12,000.
  • INFERENCEThe sales estimate omits setup and coordination, so contribution is overstated.
  • SCENARIOIf redesign removes $9,000 of contractor cost, contribution improves by $7,000.

A difference between systems is not necessarily an error.

Verify before acting

Advantage vs baseline: $7,000 · Setup reduction + coordination reduction must exceed $2,000 validation cost (now $9,000).

Supported only if the reductions are removable incremental contractor or vendor spend.

7Why we might be wrong

INFERENCEThese costs are already included in a central allowance.

Evidence strength
Direct records for setup; coordination link is inferred.
Execution dependencies
Contractor availability for redesign.
Financial sensitivity
Each $1,000 of reduction moves contribution $1,000.
Client or contractual approval
No client approval needed; internal plan change.
Timing uncertainty
Within the 90-day launch window.

8Next action

Recommendation
Validate reuse and assign shared costs before approving the delivery plan.
Accountable role
Delivery Director
Verification needed
Reconcile the work breakdown against the central allowance and confirm the contractor quotes.
Reversal trigger
A reconciled work breakdown proves setup and coordination were already included.
Excluded benefits
  • Released salaried hours are capacity, not cash savings.
  • Fixed corporate overhead is excluded.
  • No future upsell is assumed.
