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	Charles Ramen	139	$4,208	45.2 mi	45	—	$21,692	6

3	Laura Hill	8	$186	34.7 mi	4	—	$400	2

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.
