Fix your numbers

When the product finds profit it cannot account for, it does not just report a gap — it breaks that gap into named causes you can work through. The composition bar at the top of Fix your numbers is how that breakdown is shown, and reading it correctly matters, because one part of the picture deliberately sits outside it.

What the bar divides

Each slice is a share of the figure above; together they account for all of it. Unlinked listings sit outside — nothing is misstated.

Work the largest slice first. A slice is a cause with a fix behind it, not just a measurement.
