To **report operational results to leadership**, present the same measurements before and after. A result described rather than measured is a result that will be questioned.

## Why results get discounted

Leadership has heard improvement claimed before.

- Percentages with no stated source
- Comparisons against a baseline nobody captured
- Improvement claimed during a quiet period
- Several changes made at once, so attribution is unclear

## What a credible report contains

| Element                     | Why it matters                                |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Baseline figures**        | Captured before the change, not reconstructed |
| **Same indicators after**   | Comparable rather than approximate            |
| **Volume alongside timing** | Rules out a quiet period                      |
| **One change at a time**    | Makes the effect attributable                 |
| **What did not improve**    | Credibility comes from including it           |

## How to assemble it in Jestor

1. Use the **SLA** data captured in **Jestor** before the change as the baseline.
2. Apply a date filter to the same indicators for the period after.
3. Include volume, so a quiet period is not mistaken for improvement.
4. Show the dashboard directly rather than transcribing figures into slides.
5. Include what did not change, alongside what did.

## Why choose Jestor for reporting outcomes?

**Jestor** records stage timing automatically, so the baseline exists whether or not anyone planned to capture it — which is usually why these comparisons cannot be made.

Because the same panel serves both periods with a date filter, the comparison is checkable by anyone rather than dependent on how it was assembled.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Where does the baseline come from?

The timing recorded before the change. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Why report what did not improve?

It makes the rest credible.

### Should I rebuild a panel for the report?

No, apply a date filter to the existing one.
