Necessary
Duplicated line item
Two identical line items run the same calculation twice and drift apart when only one is edited, so keep one and reference it.
What MaxCheck detects
Line items with a formula that match another line item on name, format, formula, summary, Applies To, time scale, time range and versions.
Why it hurts
The same calculation runs twice and the copies drift apart when only one is edited.
Example
Taken from the rule's own test cases: formulas it must flag, and formulas it must not.
