Kurzer Check
Guess first, no penalty. Your director has 30 seconds between meetings. Which update helps most?
AI can turn a table into paragraphs of commentary in seconds. Managers rarely need paragraphs. They need to know what happened, why, and whether to do anything.
Explaining one number well is a skill AI doesn't replace, because the reason behind the number usually lives outside the data: a client call, a price change, a holiday.
Use four parts, in this order:
- The number, with its comparison: up or down on what?
- The main reason, in one sentence.
- The caveat: what the number doesn't show, or how sure you are.
- The next step: what you expect, or what you'd like them to decide.
Let AI draft it if you like. Then check every figure against the table, and add the reason only you know.
