What it really costs
Count 2,000 articles on paper and type them in afterwards, and every number is handled twice: once on the clipboard, once at the keyboard. If just 1 in 100 is misread or mistyped, that is 20 wrong stock levels per count, each one a future empty shelf or a surprise order. (Worked example for illustration.)
