A single rule enforced across every surface that prints money for a deal. An estimate total outranks the hand-typed lead value wherever the card is drawn. The typed value remains the answer only for a lead nobody has drawn a building for yet. Column headers and the Pipeline Value tile sum through the same function the cards use.
Also called: price mismatch · board says one number the card says another · deal value
- 1The card face and the card modal derive the number from the same estimate function
- 2Column totals accept the estimate total per card so header and cards cannot disagree
- 3A design that fails to price is still an estimate but does not outrank the typed value
- 4Free-text values that are not numeric are shown as written rather than value-graded as dollars
The open deal read its number from the estimate while the card behind it still printed the hand-typed lead value, so one deal showed $72,000 on the board and $42,184.46 inside. Column headers had the same disagreement one level up, summing one set of numbers while the cards beneath them printed another. When a deal has an estimate, that estimate's total is now the number in all four places: card face, open card, column total and board total.
- Board and card showing different totals for one deal
- Column and board totals summing stale typed values
- Forecasts built on numbers nobody updated
