Friday still means three exports

Friday still means three exports and a hand-built update.

Ops pulls from one system. Finance from another. Someone pastes it all into a slide or a Slack wall before leadership asks again.

The work is not strategy. It is glue.

A careful setup pulls the numbers, drafts a first narrative, and flags what looks off. You still decide what the week meant. You stop spending the afternoon building the page that lets you decide.

If Friday reporting is eating a full half-day for one person, that is often a straight line to four hours a week back.
