Description

if there is data in the system with a variance, i want the system to ignore, or at least flag differently, or not at all, variances with an absolute value threshold of under 20 or some appropriate number not sure exactly what it should be.
for example when i'm looking at a variance report i'm checking the high numbers. chilliwack lake has a 700% variance for sscfe campers in may.

but in reality, there are 8 campers, up from the average of 1 camper. piddly numbers like this aren't a big deal, i want the big variances of an extra 300 people.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. First locate the code that produces the variance report, then clarify whether small absolute variances should be ignored, flagged, or displayed differently and agree on the threshold. Done means the chosen behavior is applied consistently and the report distinguishes the large variances the issue is intended to surface.
