Boundary

What this comparison could not see

Absence from the material below is not proof of absence in the estate.

  • The workbook identifies its working records as synthetic and fictional (`Read Me!B8,B10`); they illustrate design intent but do not prove source-system values, reconciliation or production readiness.

  • The evidence rendering deliberately excludes ordinary numeric, date and Boolean cell values. Consequently, sample key values, dates, amounts, adjustment flags, budgets and formula results cannot be inspected or reconciled.

  • Stored formulas were extracted, but formula text is not proof that recalculation succeeds or that cached results are current. The workbook calculation mode is auto, but no recalculation outcome is evidenced.

  • No workbook connections, queries, external links, Power Query/DataMashup, pivots/charts or embedded data model were found. The XLSX therefore documents/prototypes requirements but does not evidence an implemented refresh path or embedded semantic model.

  • Comments, notes, hyperlinks, validation rules and conditional formatting were inspected and not found; there is no additional evidence from those categories.

  • Current gold is bounded to discovered current-state/evidence pages. Objects classified not_found were not found within that boundary and may still exist upstream or elsewhere in the client's estate.

  • The current-gold page does not provide exact DAX expressions for the four observed measures, so matching measure names cannot prove calculation equivalence or production status.

  • The current audit observed two hidden automatic date tables alongside the explicit Calendar table; the intended production date strategy is unresolved.

  • The workbook has no VBA project, embedded objects, digital signatures or workbook/sheet protection. This says nothing about security or governance in downstream Power BI deployments.

  • No consultant comments were supplied in consultant_guidance, so there was no additional trusted steering to apply.
