Complicated source data should not result in mysterious answers.

The path is the same whether IG365 is building a product or assessing a problem someone brings. The names below are the work itself, not an internal project system.

1. UnderstandLearn the question that needs an answer. IG365 starts with the decision or understanding someone is trying to reach, and with what would make an answer useful. The software comes after that is clear.
2. AcquireTake in the records that already exist. The work uses the files, exports, and systems the person already has. It does not begin by asking them to redesign their records.
3. StructureGive the records a consistent shape. Dates, amounts, identifiers, and descriptions are put into a form that can be checked. Structure is a means to an answer, not the answer itself.
4. VerifyCheck values against their source. A figure should be traceable to where it came from. Verification keeps that link visible instead of replacing the source with an unexplained total.
5. ReconcileShow what matches, what differs, and what is missing. When two sources describe the same activity, the differences stay visible. A reconciled result says where it agrees and where it does not.
6. BuildMake software that can repeat the work. Once the path from records to answer is understood, IG365 builds software that can do that work again without someone reconstructing it by hand each time.
7. ProveCompare the result with known cases. The awkward records matter as much as the tidy ones. A result is shown against cases where the right answer is already known, including the exceptions.
8. ImproveChange the software when the data or the question changes. New record types, corrected rules, and better questions should change the software openly. An old total should not be silently rewritten.
