On infrastructure software, a job that fails without a joinable event can empty a report tile for a whole cohort. The pack shows a cliff; operations never opened a ticket—or they opened ten for the wrong system.

Before rewriting the export, walk the reporting journey while watching live counters and change tickets. Note job-only failures versus confirmed capacity shifts. Check whether staging shares production keys.
