Why this case deserves follow-up

Examined and set aside on this project:

  • quantity above plan (low confidence): billed 121 vs plan 64 rests on a sum of running-bill abstracts, not on a cumulative or final figure; not reliable enough to present.

Possible legitimate explanations

  • An approved deviation / work slip increased the quantity.
  • The approval exists on paper but was not uploaded to IFMS (IFMS attachments are not a complete record).
  • A second installation location was added to the work.
  • An OCR misreading of one figure (each row passed quantity × rate = amount, which makes this unlikely).

What would resolve it

  • Approved deviation statement / work slip covering the item
  • Supplementary Schedule B
  • MB pages for the item
  • Site inspection counting installed units
