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	Leona Coonrod	449	$12,828		42.6 mi	143	✈ 2	$8,171	6

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.
