Do your weekly reports actually get read? Ours feel like a data dump most of the time

I realized recently that our weekly reports look solid… but I’m not sure anyone actually does anything with them. It’s usually a bunch of charts, metrics moving up/down, some notes nothing technically wrong, just a bit… overwhelming? You can kind of find insights if you stare at it long enough, but no one really has time for that

I tried forcing myself to simplify it, like: what’s the one thing that actually matters this week, what supports it, and what we’re going to do next. Sounds obvious, but it’s surprisingly hard to not fall back into “just include everything to be safe”. I’ve been dumping some of this into accio work lately just to help summarize the charts and surface something usable (not affiliated). It’s helpful as a starting point, but you still have to decide what actually matters vs what just looks interesting

Still not sure I’ve cracked it though. Sometimes I worry I’m oversimplifying, other times it still feels like too much. Curious how others handle this in reality do you aim for super concise reports, or just accept that most people will skim?
