📊 Data Quality Notes

  • Coverage: 322 of 395 jobs (81.5%) were mapped to a UK Government Region using postcode data.
  • Exclusions: Plant Sales jobs are excluded from all calculations to keep the focus on service, remedial, breakdown and related work.
  • Postcodes & Regions: Postcodes were matched from the Daily Rate file, supporting postcode lists and the Monday.com contact export. Region assignment is based on postcode area prefixes; where a postcode area spans more than one UK Government Region, it has been allocated to the region most representative of Excel Water's typical customer locations.
  • Costing Approach: Overnight allowances have been removed at £250 per engineer per night, and an approximate allowance for parts has been deducted based on job type, so values are intended as reasonable estimates rather than exact financial figures.
