You only see the real cost after committing time, forms, and emotional energy into the process. People can plan around expensive, but they cannot plan around hidden.

No full redesign needed, just stable basics and honest status updates.

End-of-month reconciliation turns into detective work because each report shows a different number. None of this is technically secret, it is just buried where normal users will miss it.

The fix is not complicated: keep context, name an owner, and stop forcing restarts.
