Guided checkpoints

  1. Frame the management question

    Write the main question as: Where is performance below plan and where is delinquency creating risk?

    Translate a vague request into measurable questions.

  2. Validate the source

    Inspect headers, numeric types, dates/months and status labels before calculating anything.

    Prevent source-quality errors.

  3. Calculate achievement

    Build Collection ÷ Target and identify the weakest branch in the sample.

    Create and interpret a KPI.

  4. Build the risk view

    Bucket DPD into 0–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 91+ and identify high-risk records.

    Convert raw delinquency into action categories.

  5. Design the PivotTable

    Summarize Collection and Target by Branch and add Status/DPD bucket as analytical context.

    Build a flexible management summary.

  6. Choose the chart

    Use a comparison chart for branch performance and a separate trend chart when months are involved.

    Match visualization to the question.

  7. Write the management decision

    State which branch deserves the closest review and why, using both performance and risk evidence.

    Turn analysis into a defensible decision.

  8. Prepare for QA

    Reconcile the primary monetary total, test an exception and document one assumption before publishing.

    Apply professional reporting discipline.
