btw, many reports will flag calculation issues in XBRL data as inconsistencies. The reason is that not all calculation problems are actual errors. Some are unavoidable. But if you see more than a couple inconsistencies in a single filing it should raise questions in your mind. In these early days I'd question just about any inconsistency because the vast majority of them can be avoided. For the issuer, building a good calculation linkbase and watching the errors or inconsistencies can help them avoid all kinds of problems like bad signage (below), transpositions and unintentional rounding errors.
