Regulatory Package Review Load at 25% findings resolution and re-review allowance: a worked example

What does the result look like when findings resolution and re-review allowance reaches 25%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when a stack of regulatory submittals or compliance packages needs review and you need an honest estimate of the hours before a submittal deadline.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Regulatory packages to review: 25 packages (unchanged)
  • Packages reviewed per hour: 2 packages / hr (unchanged)
  • Findings resolution and re-review allowance: 25 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 22)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Base review hours = regulatory packages to review รท packages reviewed per hour) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15.63 hr for required review hours, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12.5 hr for base review hours.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 25 % for findings and re-review allowance applied.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2 packages / hr for packages reviewed per hour.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where findings resolution and re-review allowance sits at 22% and the headline result is 15.25 hr, this scenario comes in 2.46% above the baseline at 15.63 hr.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when findings resolution and re-review allowance is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It uses an average review rate; a single package with a major nonconformance can require multiple re-review loops that no average rate will capture.
