Where the benefit lands

Account and cost center this baseline reconciles to

General ledger account

6120 · Contract and temporary labor

Agency and contractor spend. The cleanest place to evidence a reduction because it falls out of the invoice run within one period.

FY25 Q3	Labor cost	$1.70m	$1.65m	$1.44m	Partly verified	Method mismatch The baseline was measured by survey and the realized figure by system extract. The two are not comparable without a bridge, and no bridge has been built.	JV-2025Q3-0075

What this record is, and what it is not

A benefit realization ledger reconciled to a general ledger needs the customer’s actual baseline figures and account structure. Modeled numbers demonstrate the instrument and prove nothing about the business case.

The measurement window ran FY24 Q3, thirteen weeks over a sample of 3,734. That sample size is on the page because a baseline drawn from twelve cases and one drawn from forty thousand are not the same instrument, and averaging them into a single confidence figure would hide which one you are looking at.

2 of 5 cash lines resting on this baseline carry a journal reference. A benefit line with no journal reference has not touched the general ledger, so it is shown as claimed rather than counted as realized cash.
