this is part of what I like to call accounting extremism where it makes sense on paper, if you save 0,01 eurodollars a pen you probably save like 5000 eurodollars a year or so. It's just it does not consider anything that does not fit neatly into a single line KPI in an excel table, like "does this organisation still work"
