This row cost a day once, and the board exists so it never does again. A 5.9% gap in COGS looked like an error and was reported as one; it is a definition difference, and the fuller figure is the one that includes landed cost. It is settled, it is written down here, and it is not re-litigated — the reason a classified difference stays on the board rather than being suppressed is that suppressing it is how it gets rediscovered as a fresh alarm every few months.

every difference above has a named cause |
this is the only number that matters |
|
The residual is the metric; the rest is bookkeeping. Two systems built by different people will never agree line for line, and chasing them into agreement usually means copying somebody else’s definition. What has to be zero is the part nobody can account for — so every difference is classified when it first appears, and a new one that does not fit a known cause raises the only alarm this board is allowed to raise.
