A manual transcription mistake or mismatched measurement record may look inexpensive in isolation. The annual impact changes when the same failure mode appears across hundreds of measurements every day.
Estimate the annual impact
Use your approximate daily measurement volume, expected error rate, and average cost to investigate or correct each error. This is a planning estimate, not an accounting model.

What to examine next
The estimate is most useful as a starting point. Review where identifiers are entered manually, where results move between systems, and where operators must reinterpret or reformat instrument output.
