Adding more resources sounds tempting, but I think it might just lead to more tasks without solving the underlying issue.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think organizing a team-building activity might not tackle the root problem.

No problem, I've seen questions like this before. The key is to focus on the change in the average collection period and use that to determine the additional investment.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The question mentions the location is set in the variables section, but the resources section also has some location-related code. I'll need to carefully review the template to make sure I'm addressing the right part of the configuration.

I bet the team's SMEs are just thrilled to be 'continuously working on repetitive tasks'. Sounds like a recipe for burnout and low morale. They need to shake things up, not just add more warm bodies.

I can just imagine the team-building activity, A, being a trust fall exercise or something equally cringeworthy. Not the best way to solve this issue, in my opinion.

Add more resources? Seriously, D? That's just throwing more bodies at the problem without addressing the root cause. The team needs to take a step back and rethink their workflow.
