Staff time and job costing, off the spreadsheet
The real defect was not the file, it was the data going into it. Their template carried a 500-item client dropdown and a second, separate 500-item client group dropdown with nothing linking the two — so the instructions asked every person to hand-check that the two agreed, on every row they typed. That is not a formatting problem. It is job costing built on data nobody can trust, and no amount of chasing timesheets fixes it.
