What pulls against what
- close speed vs. classification confidence
- source fidelity vs. clean categorization
- manual review depth vs. materiality focus
What is at stake
A simple source-feed change is distorting the Scope 1 category split. A defensible correction prevents an avoidable assurance issue
Why Watershed
At Watershed, this often matters because category-level confidence depends on how operational records are interpreted.
