What is the Fix the Monthly Risk Rollup That course about?

Every cycle, the same thing happens: someone copies from one tab to another, a formula breaks, a field overwrites, and suddenly the version going to leadership doesn’t match engineering reality. You lose hours reconciling, revalidating, and re-sending. The process is fragile, manual, and reputationally risky , not because of the data, but because of the delivery mechanism.
