Validated value: why estimate, measurement and finance approval stay apart
The most common mistake when presenting improvement gains is adding estimates as if they had happened. How the value board prevents it.
10 September 2026 · 1 min read
An improvement's value goes through three stages: it is estimated, then measured in the field, and finally approved by finance. Summing these stages into one number means presenting unrealised gains to management.
What does the value board show?
- Estimated, measured and validated amounts on separate cards.
- Each record's confidence level: how strong is the evidence?
- Persistence: does the gain continue after the measurement period?
- Currency and unit settings: which currency, which rate?
The finance decision
Finance accepts, corrects or rejects a measured gain; the decision and its reason stay in the record. Every amount labelled “validated” in the management report has this decision behind it.
