All, I’m an Analyst - 2 and can’t seem to reduce my human errors down to 0% even if I try my hardest at checking. I’d think I checked everything properly - printed things out, checked with a highlighter etc l. - and still, one human error would slip through. E.g. highlighting the wrong value as the max value.
Any thoughts on this?

I’m not necessarily trying to make less errors though - I’m trying to make NO human errors.
Sometimes 99% is still not good enough in my team, and that 1% can be material when compounded.
No work product is ever perfect the first time around. My VP makes slides and j need to make edits, I make slides and my Associate has to tweak. There’s a reason multiple people look before MD
