Does the formula match the question?
Confirm numerator, denominator, date range, population, exclusions and treatment of reversals. A percentage without its definition can mislead.

ScopeWhich claims / dates?
CalculateApply one agreed formula.
ExplainState caveats and use.
Is the underlying data trustworthy?
Check duplicates, missing dates, invalid status values, inconsistent payer groupings, unmatched remittances, and whether the same cohort is used throughout.
Can the team act on the signal?
Assign an owner, a threshold, an escalation path and a review cadence. A dashboard without a defined action can become decoration.
