Double counting happens when the same peso is recorded twice within a single result, artificially inflating the figures. It is one of the most common errors when consolidating projections from several sources.

A serious report states explicitly when it avoids it, because that is how it shows the figures presented are incremental rather than repeated.

Example: when projecting office revenue, the report excludes property costs because they are already reflected in the project's operating balance, and notes this is "to avoid double counting". That way, the COP 37 million per month in Year 1 is additional net income, not something already booked.
