Figure verification
A routine for checking figures: recompute, cross-foot and compare with the source.
Figure verification is a fixed step before a figure is used: recompute totals by another method, cross-foot (row totals equal column totals), compare figures with source documents, and make sure every figure in a report has an origin you can point to. A figure typed by a language model, rather than computed from data, is treated as unverified until someone computes it themselves.
Also called: Figure verification, recompute, cross-foot
