show better provisioning group counts

When a Grouper group ( with direct and indirect memberships ) are provisioned to a target system why is it "so hard" to manually validate the counts between Grouper and the target system?
Example.
Grouper group has 15863 total members ( as observed from the members table and the "total" at the bottom of the list. )
That group breaks down like this:
1 Direct membership ( a Ref group )
That Ref Group has 23 direct basis groups as members
I had to figure out why only 15838 members were provisioned to the down stream system. <-- !?!?
NOTE: I found 1 "DNE" error (did not find entity) in the provisioner logs.
Wrong math:
15863 (total) -1(DNE) = 15862 (should be in the target, but not the number observed. !!?!?! )
Correct math:
15863 (total) -1(DNE) - 24 ( nested groups) = 15838 actual members in the target system.
Maybe the UI should have a way to display the "user count" that can be sent to the provisioned system at a higher level than
Group Actions --> Provisioning
On the provisioner of interest Actions --> View Details
User count = 15839
With the subtext of "Number of users in group in a particular provisioning target"
The subtext is technically is wrong due to the DNE. Which you have to dig out of other menus/sub screens.....
And maybe show the count that was known to be provisioned too?
So I don't have to "login to the target, and find a way to get the count from it"?
