The PIR reports that Topic 842 generally achieved its information objective, while lessees incurred higher-than-expected system and process costs. It names rate, measurement, related parties, modifications, embedded leases, sale-leasebacks, and component allocation among the difficult application areas. That evidence informs teaching order and control design, not GAAP.
