Batch Genealogy Coverage at 99% target genealogy coverage: a worked example

Push target genealogy coverage up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when GMP, QA, QC, validation, manufacturing, or operations teams need a quick planning estimate to assess electronic batch record, MES, ERP, and serialization traceability completeness.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Captured genealogy links: 8 links (unchanged)
  • Required genealogy links: 250 links (unchanged)
  • Target genealogy coverage: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Batch genealogy coverage = Captured genealogy links ÷ Required genealogy links × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for batch genealogy coverage, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for coverage gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for captured genealogy links.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for required genealogy links.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target genealogy coverage sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • It calculates the percentage of required batch genealogy links that have actually been captured, plus the gap in percentage points to your target coverage. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Batch genealogy coverage: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Coverage gap to target: 95.8 points
  • Captured genealogy links: 8 count
  • Required genealogy links: 250 count
