Decision thesis

The board-level argument.

Duplicate records split stock positions and make planners search multiple descriptions for the same part. Operations pays through emergency buys, delays, and review time.

Recommended next action: Use the report to prioritize cleanup by site, operating risk, and technical owner review rather than treating the catalog as one flat data exercise.
