Business context
Operational questions were answered by exporting records on demand, which produced a different answer each time and left no shared definition of the metrics.
Approach
- 01
Defined what each recurring metric means and which record is authoritative for it.
- 02
Moved source data into a maintained structure a report can read without rework.
- 03
Wrote the recurring report so the same question gets the same answer in the same shape.
Results and implications
Completed a repeatable reporting workflow with defined metrics, maintained source data, and a recurring report format for operational review.
