How to follow a loss from stop to verified result

Wiki: Now, concepts

When to use this

You spotted a loss, on Opportunities, on the daily board, on Home, or in the Ledger, and you want the whole story in one place: what happened, who did something about it, and whether it actually worked.

Steps

  1. Find a machine’s dollar loss on any of these screens and click View loss next to it: the Opportunities board (/insights), the daily board’s Top losses section (/daily), or Home’s Top opportunities card. A ledger entry that started as an insight also links back with View this loss.
  2. The header shows the machine, the leading reason, the dollar figure, and a state: Open (nothing linked yet), Acted (someone linked an intervention), Measuring (the outcome window is still open), Verified, or No change.
  3. Evidence shows what the finding is based on: expected versus observed, the drivers behind it, the reason breakdown in minutes per day, and the individual stops in the window. Click Downtime for this machine to see the full picture on the Downtime page.
  4. Action shows who linked an intervention and what they did. When it links to a work item, its owner and status history show inline too. Nothing linked yet shows Link an action, which takes you to Opportunities to do it.
  5. Result shows the ledger’s measurement once the outcome window has closed: a verified dollar figure with its basis, or No change or Insufficient data when the window shows nothing measurable. Before the window closes, it shows Measuring until a date. Click View in the Ledger to see this same result alongside every other measured loss.

When opened from the ranking, a Loss shows the original ranking period separately from the finding’s evidence period. The Opportunities link returns to those exact ranking dates. A direct Loss link has no assumed ranking period.

Each listed stop shows an estimated downtime cost from its recorded duration and the current machine rate. A default rate is labeled. Unknown durations or rates stay blank. These stop estimates do not add up to the finding’s dollar amount by definition: that finding may use a different observation period or model basis. A capped list states how many stops it displays.
