The operational manager's biggest mistake is sending **Data Dumps** to the board. The board doesn't want to see every spreadsheet row. They want to see:

1. Are we winning or losing?
2. Why?
3. What are we going to do?

### **The "One-Pager" Rule**

The ideal report fits on one screen (or page). It highlights deviations and wins. If everything is green, no detail needed. If something is red, it needs explanation.

### **Living Reports in Jestor**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **Email Digest:** Configure Jestor to send an automatic summary every Monday at 8 AM with just 3 key numbers.
- **Executive View:** A simplified dashboard where the director can filter by date without fear of "breaking" the formula.
- **Narrative:** Use text blocks next to charts to explain context ("The drop was due to the holiday").

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**How to know if they are reading?** Send the dashboard link and check the access log. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Should I send PDF or Link?** Link is better (real-time), but PDF serves for official archiving.

**Can I customize per director?** Yes, the CFO sees finance, the CMO sees marketing.
