Transparent Error Correction
When a supporting number in a recommendation is discovered to be inaccurate, the author should state the error directly and fix it where stakeholders will openly see it, explaining what changed and confirming whether the core proposal still holds. Proactively disclosing revisions and presenting like-for-like figures preserves professional credibility and trust, whereas allowing decision-makers to discover errors on their own severely compromises credibility.
