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	Michael Burris	297	$9,491	47.7 mi	61	✈ 8	$92,146	10

3	Rhea Berry	45	$179	5.9 mi	2	—	$5,667	5

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.
