🎯 Low Hanging Fruit — Biggest Drivers of Excess Travel Cost

Ranked by total avoidable cost across five dimensions. Focus on the top items in each category for the highest ROI improvements.

By Vertical

Which service verticals generate the most excess travel? Clinical Education stands out with very high per-WO excess.

#	Vertical	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	Avg Excess	Outliers	Flew	Actual Expense	Techs
1	Animal Health	57	$1,792	100%	46.9 mi	16	✈ 1	$12,164	8

By State

States with the highest total avoidable travel cost.

#	State	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Avg Excess	Flew
1	AZ	42	$1,062	37.7 mi	—
2	MO	4	$164	61.2 mi	—
3	TX	8	$123	22.8 mi	—

By City

Top cities by total avoidable cost. These are your biggest geographic hotspots.

#	City	State	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Avg Excess	Flew

By Coordinator

Coordinators whose dispatching decisions result in the most excess travel. High avg excess suggests systematic over-dispatching; high WO count with moderate excess suggests volume-driven impact.

#	Coordinator	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	Avg Excess	Outliers	Flew	Actual Expense	Techs Used
1	Kaitlyn Kelch	57	$1,792		46.9 mi	16	✈ 1	$12,164	8

By Technician — Repeat Offenders

Techs who consistently travel far beyond the closest available option. High states-served count may indicate a roaming/national tech; high avg excess with few states suggests a misplaced home base.

#	Technician	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	Avg Actual Dist	Avg Excess	Outliers	Flew	States	Actual Expense
1	Andrew Przybyla	34	$1,408		73 mi	61.8 mi	12	✈ 1	2	$6,599
