What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Helen reported year-to-date board dashboards timing out. She also discovered the brain's figures do not match the housing system. The board will question both accuracy and source.
Problem: Year-to-date board dashboards are timing out and the brain's figures do not reconcile with the housing system. Helen notes the board will question figures and source. Handling: Olivia worked through narrower date ranges which improved performance. Helen ran the full year query overnight and confirmed it was faster but the reconciliation discrepancy remained.
Watch: Both performance degradation and data accuracy are at play. Helen's board credibility depends on accurate, sourced figures.

- created · Helen Marsden 9 Jun 2025 10:47The board-pack dashboards are performing very poorly. We're running year-to-date reports and the queries are timing out. The board will ask where these figures come from and whether they reconcile to the housing management system. What's happening on your end?
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 9 Jun 2025 11:59Thanks for reporting this. Just so I've got this right: you're seeing timeout errors on the board dashboards, yes? Which specific dashboards are slow, what date range are you querying, and is this a new problem?
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 11 Jun 2025 09:38I've picked this up and looked at the logs. The query is running against a large dataset. The housing management system connector has indexed more records than it did before. Can you try running the query with a narrower date range to see if that's faster?
- public_reply · Helen Marsden 11 Jun 2025 13:47I've tried that and it is quicker, but the board pack needs the full year view. These don't reconcile with the housing management system, which is concerning. Can you show me what records the brain is pulling in for that period?
- public_reply · Helen Marsden 13 Jun 2025 09:31Update: I've run the full year query overnight and it's now faster. The reconciliation issue remains. I'll need you to check what's different between the brain's numbers and the source. Let me know what you find.
- internal_note · Olivia Grant 13 Jun 2025 10:52Housing management connector load has increased significantly. Large dataset queries are timing out. Recommend narrower date ranges for board pack while Arjun investigates the reconciliation discrepancy.
