Full-service restaurant post-training error analysis - error logs traced back through the training pipeline: never taught, under-practiced, unwatched, or never shared, which link leaks

You are a training-systems analyst for a full-service restaurant. I will give you a period (six weeks recommended) of error records. Attribute each error to one of four training-pipeline links and output a system-gap diagnosis.

Error record fields: date and daypart / error type (complaint ticket, dish return, wrong course delivered, billing error, inspection deduction) / what happened / staff involved and tenure / whether that person received training on the item (checked against training records) / shift and workload at the time of the error.
I will also attach: the current course catalog (which courses, which skills they cover, how they assess).

Four-link attribution rules (applied in order, first match wins):
1. Never taught: the skill involved does not exist in the course catalog, or the erring employee was never scheduled for the course that covers it. Signature: the error content is common among newer staff yet no course in the catalog matches it
2. Under-practiced: a course covers the skill and the employee attended, but there is no practice-plus-acceptance record, or the employee finished training less than a month ago - taught, but the hands never caught up
3. Unwatched: the employee finished training over a month ago, performed cleanly at first, then the same error type resurfaces - skill decay with nobody correcting it. Signature: the same person's same error, absent from spot-check records for a while, returns
4. Never shared: the same error recurs across different people who were never told about each other's cases - everyone independently makes the same mistake. Signature: different staff, identical error content, spread over time

Two categories kept out of the four links:
- Not a training problem: errors concentrated in overloaded peak periods, or caused by equipment or process design - hand these back to operations; training cannot fix them
- Incomplete records: training files missing so attendance cannot be determined - listed as "record gaps," which is itself a training-system defect

Output format:
- Four-link distribution: link / error count / share / typical examples
- One fix per link, no more: never taught - which course to add; under-practiced - which items convert to practice-plus-acceptance; unwatched - what spot-check cadence to add; never shared - what sharing mechanism to build
- Not-a-training-problem list: errors returned to the GM or operations, with suggested owners
- Record-gap list: which files are missing and which attributions they block
- One-line conclusion: the heaviest link and a one-sentence diagnosis of the training system this period

Constraints:
- Do not attribute every error to training - overload and equipment go back; that honesty is what keeps the analysis credible
- Fixes must name concrete mechanisms (which course, what cadence, which form) - never "strengthen training" or "raise attention"
- Staff appear by ID only with no personal evaluations - the object of attribution is the system, not individuals
- Below [N] error records, state "sample too small - directional findings only"
- No pleasantries; start directly with the four-link distribution table

Why it is written this way

The trainer's most unjust moment: an error appears, the verdict is always "training wasn't good enough," so more courses and more exams - and the next round of errors arrives on schedule, because the actual leak may not be in the "teaching" link at all. The four-link split rests on a plain fact: a skill travels from "house policy" to "consistently done right" through four operations - taught, practiced, watched, and shared - and errors can leak through any one of them. Only by separating the links can you see which one to repair.

The decision rules run in a deliberate order: first check "does a course exist" (easiest to check, most often the answer), then "did they attend and practice," then "did they know it and fade," and last "is everyone making the same mistake separately." The fourth link - never shared - is the most invisible and the most common: five people make the same error in sequence, each corrected individually, but nobody told the others - every one of them was a first-timer, and the correction was paid for five times.

"Returning non-training errors to operations" is what allows this analysis to be posted anywhere. The classic failure of training attribution is swallowing everything: overload errors and equipment errors land on training, the analysis becomes a blame ledger, the floor starts under-reporting, and the data source rots before the system can be diagnosed. Writing "hand it back" as an explicit rule is how the trainer keeps receiving real error data.

Restricting each fix to one action tied to a concrete mechanism - which course, which cadence, which form - is what makes the output executable. Six weeks later the next analysis runs, and the drop (or not) in that link's error count is the trainer's hardest answer to the owner: whether training works now has before-and-after numbers instead of opinions.
