Where the hours actually go
The tariff hunt isn’t one task. It’s four, repeated for every utility, every period.
Locating the tariff
Finding the right document on each utility’s site, different every time.
Verifying currency
Confirming it’s the current filing, not last quarter’s superseded one.
Hand-keying data
Extracting components and riders into spreadsheets, error-prone by nature.
Rechecking
Re-verifying when a number gets questioned, the whole chain, again.
Proportions illustrative of a typical research cycle.
The savings beyond labor
Risk comes down
Standardized, verified data prevents the misread rider that turns into a wrong recommendation, or a wrong bill.
