By State

States with the highest total avoidable travel cost.

#	State	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	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	Avg Excess	Outliers	Flew	Actual Expense	Techs Used
1	Rich Fosbury	6	$332	82.6 mi	6	—	$2,387	2

3	Mandy Newman	6	$178	44.3 mi	2	—	$3,688	3

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.
