Telecom teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
