Branch totals reconcile with the cancellation measure as users drill down.

It would not directly verify this scenario's selected implementation: Treat visual relationships as associations and recommend further validation before causal claims.
The warehouse-level changes sum to the total observed cost change. That check would be meaningful for the separate case: An executive asks which warehouse contributes the most to a total cost increase across two months. It would not directly verify this scenario's selected implementation: Treat visual relationships as associations and recommend further validation before causal claims.
