Observed rate · %
Plans using reconciled stock definitions

What this measures
Buying-calendar deadlines met divided by completed commitments with known original agreed deadlines and actual completion timestamps. Record on-time or late once per commitment; exclude pending or undated work and never move a past deadline to hide lateness.
Your reports start empty. Figures reflect observed work in the selected period; missing records are not treated as measured zeroes. Current jobs, schedules and stock stay in your working files and tasks. You and your agent can adapt the dashboard as your business changes.
Keep the tools that already work
