The Three-Numbers Map

Map where your revenue, margin and cash numbers come from, who owns each source, and which one the board should trust, in 5 minutes, without replacing any of them.

Five minutes, five steps

Write revenue, margin and cash down the left. They are already there.
Beside each, list every system it comes from.
Name the owner of each source, or write none.
Mark the one source the board should trust for each number.
Any number with two sources and no owner is your reconciliation meeting. Put it on Thursday's agenda.

Revenue

Every place this number comes from. Three rows at 40 people, six or eight at 200. Add rows on paper if you need more.
