What Your Analysis Revealed
You’ve seen your complexity score. It measures how much logic, risk, and dependency has accumulated in the file: formula depth, external links, macros, and the number of processes that rely on it.
It’s the same pattern we’ve seen across 1,500+ Microsoft engagements since 1997: a spreadsheet that started as a workaround becomes infrastructure the business depends on.
What Happens As the File Ages
Complexity in a working spreadsheet moves in one direction:
- Formula logic compounds as data and edge cases accumulate.
- More processes and people come to depend on the file, widening the eventual rebuild scope.
The score won’t improve on its own. The variable you control is when the rebuild starts.
