The concept is simple (usually leg loads) and, from personal experience with a system on a small fleet of 727 freighters, usually there was a reasonably constant error delta but the variations from the expected error position correlated consistently with the load sheet data... ie the system was a very useful taxy check on the paperwork.

On those occasions folk taxied back for a check, the load was wrong with respect to the paperwork.
