GLCOGreat Lakes Computing Office Keep every number connected to its source
Connect the records your team relies on and make missing information easier to spot. We build reporting and review tools around approved sources and clear definitions.

The work behind the request
One export includes a correction that another file missed. A column has the same name in two systems but counts something different. By the time the report reaches a meeting, the person who prepared it is explaining the spreadsheet instead of discussing the decision it was meant to support.
We start with the record and the question you need it to answer. That means agreeing on definitions, following the information back to its source and deciding what should happen when values disagree. A reliable reporting process makes its gaps visible so the team can resolve them before treating the result as complete.
A record you can trace
Illustrative workflow: an operations team combines records from an approved file export and a business system. The example describes a proposed reconciliation process, not a completed client deployment.
Identify the source file or record and when it was received. Preserve enough context to distinguish a corrected export from an older copy used in a previous report.
Agree how each source field maps to the shared report. Record decisions such as which date belongs in the reporting period and how missing or duplicate identifiers should be handled.
Show the conflicting values with their sources and an assigned reviewer. Keep the original information available when the reviewer records a correction or decides to exclude the record.
Present the agreed measure with its refresh information and unresolved exceptions. A reader should be able to tell whether the report is ready for the decision they need to make.
What this makes possible
A useful acceptance check follows a disputed figure back through its calculation to the source. It also shows what happens when an input is late, incomplete or corrected after the previous report.
Where this helps
We connect approved data sources to reporting and review tools that show where the information came from and what needs attention. The work starts with a specific report or decision and the people who understand the source records.
For teams assembling the same report repeatedly or checking several systems before they can trust a record.
Illustrative workflows, scoped to your tools and team.

What your team takes forward
We document who owns the source, who can approve a correction and who maintains the report. Those roles may belong to different people, so the handoff makes clear how an issue moves between them and when a report should be held.
A boundary for the first release
These decisions influence what we build, how you test it and what it costs to keep running.
Begin with the report your team needs, then include the sources required to support its measures and checks.
Name who decides when a field is ambiguous and which source takes precedence for each kind of information.
Plan how late files, changed columns and failed imports are detected, assigned and corrected before the next report is used.
Make the economics work
Reducing wasted time may improve your margin when you avoid an expense or take on additional paid work. Count the cost of review, corrections, software and upkeep before deciding whether the change pays for itself.
Use the calculator to compare the time recovered with the cost of running the workflow. Savings depend on your process.

Before committing
Your existing tools
We assess the source systems, update frequency and permissions before scoping a data connection. Records keep a clear source so reviewers can investigate a discrepancy.

Connect emails and documents to structured records with validation.

Keep source documents, checks and approvals together in a review queue.

Request a callThe project can start with the sources needed for one report or review queue. We assess where the data should live and how it should be accessed before recommending a wider migration.
They may be suitable sources when the format, permissions and update process are clear. We check a representative sample and agree how changes or incomplete files should be handled.
Rules and source ownership should determine how records are reconciled. If AI helps extract or classify information, the scope must also define validation and the person who reviews uncertain results.
