A reporting agent checks only the rows that do not match, so his review takes 15 minutes a week

His weekly reporting agent builds the report and then reviews only the rows that do not match between systems, which is the part he used to check by hand. His own review is down to about 15 minutes a week and the setup has run for months.

How it works

The agent builds the weekly report
It compares rows between the two systems
It reviews the mismatched rows itself
He spends about 15 minutes a week on what is left

Why it’s worth knowing

The trick is what the agent is not asked to do: the matching rows never reach a human at all.
