Why the quarters are uneven
Quarters rarely hold the same number of working days, because public holidays cluster and months differ in length. Any target set as a flat quarterly figure therefore asks for more output per day in the short quarters than in the long ones. The share column above is the quickest way to see how far a given year departs from an even split.
