Internal reporting
Friday's report builds itself.
“I get the numbers on Monday, and by then they're describing last week.”
Where the money leaks
The gap nobody owns.
The report is assembled by hand from several exports, so it is expensive to produce and late by the time it lands. Decisions get made on the version someone remembers rather than the one in front of them.
The math
- 1.Four hours every Friday, plus an hour of chasing the exports.
- 2.At a loaded $40 an hour that is $200 a week.
- 3.Over a year, 260 hours and $10,400 — for numbers that arrive stale.
And the real cost is the decisions made without them, which nobody bills for.
What we build
What we actually build.
- The numbers arrive already compiled, on the morning you want them
- One view across the sources instead of four exports to reconcile
- Anything that looks wrong is flagged rather than quietly averaged
- The same figures every time, so two people cannot bring different versions
What stays manual
Reading it. We remove the assembly, not the judgment about what the numbers mean.
- Deciding what to do about a number
- Anything that needs commentary or context
- Defining what counts as good, which is your call and changes
