Scenario:
In a team audit, two auditors completed assessments on the same question at the same site, but entered their results differently:
Auditor A entered a sample (e.g. "2/3", which equates to about 66%)
Auditor B entered only the percentage (e.g. "20%) , omitting sample values
As a result, the system shows a warning due to conflicting input formats.
The system provides the following warning:
How the System Merges the inputs
The merge logic only applies when both auditors answered the same question at the same site.
If both auditors provide a sample (X/Y):
The system sums both the numerators and denominators, then recomputes the percentage.
Example: 3/15 (20%) + 2/3 (66%)
If both auditors provided a percentage (X%):
The system averages the two percentages directly.
Example: 20% and 66% -> (20% + 66%) / 2 = 43%
If one auditor uses sample (X/Y) and the other uses percentage (X%):
Because the system cannot deduce how the percentage was obtained (e.g. 20% might come from 1/5, 20/100 etc.), it discards the sample data altogether and averages the percentages only.
Example: 20% and 66% -> (20% + 66%) / 2 = 43%
