Workflow Steps

Compile & Analyze Metrics

Gather key metrics, calculate trends, and identify the most significant changes quarter-over-quarter.

Analyze these quarterly metrics for a business review: [paste key metrics: revenue, users, churn, etc. with Q-o-Q data]. Identify: top 3 wins (metrics that improved significantly), top 3 concerns (declining or underperforming metrics), surprising trends, and metrics that need deeper investigation. Calculate growth rates and compare to targets.

Build the Narrative

Turn metrics into a coherent story that explains what happened, why, and what it means.

Write the narrative for our quarterly business review. Key wins: [list]. Challenges: [list]. Context: [market conditions, team changes, product launches]. Write 3 sections: 1) Quarter summary (2 paragraphs), 2) Deep dives on the 3 most important metrics (with "why" explanations), 3) Forward-looking risks and opportunities. Tone: honest but optimistic.

Flag any answers where I need more data.
