An illustrative workflow
A reporting schedule starts → source data is collected → definitions are checked → the report is prepared → a person reviews the summary.
Start with a clear process
Agree what each measure means and where it comes from. A clear, consistent report is more useful than a large dashboard with conflicting definitions.
Where your team stays in control
Missing data and late updates should be visible. An AI-written summary needs traceable figures and a review step before it informs a significant decision.
What to measure
Preparation time, data completeness, corrections and whether the report supports a useful action. Automated commentary should explain the numbers accurately.
