Are these sentences natural? May 3

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. Why are your numbers so low / so much lower as compare to theirs?

2. And, that is why I had so much trouble in getting everything in order yesterday.

3. How couldn’t we detect this problem despite regular testing?

Thanks,
MG
