Korean retail banks often close branch books on different day-five or day-seven schedules depending on product mix. We map that calendar before designing any layout. The scorecard's cover date is the date a regional head can act, not the date the data warehouse finished loading.
For networks on a monthly rhythm, we deliver draft charts forty-eight hours before the leadership call so analysts can sanity-check outliers. For quarterly cycles, we add a one-page variance narrative that cites three branch-level stories supported by the charts — never generic macro commentary.
Cadence is a service decision, not a software setting. When a client shifts close timing, we shift with them rather than forcing a template schedule.
