Reports that
write themselves.

Weekly board reports, P&L digests, marketing dashboards — generated from your data, written in your voice, delivered to your inbox at 8am every Monday. No more spreadsheet hell on Sunday nights.

What this fixes

Three reasons
Sunday nights get eaten.

If your week ends with a spreadsheet at 11pm and starts with the same one at 7am, you're who we built this for.

Problem 01

Reporting eats Monday mornings.

Three to six hours a week pulling numbers from five tools, formatting them in slides, writing the same commentary you wrote last week — with new figures and the same conclusions.

Problem 02

The numbers and the narrative diverge.

Your dashboards say one thing. Your reports say another. By Wednesday everyone has a different version of reality. Meetings turn into arguments about whose number is right.

Problem 03

Insights die in the pipeline.

By the time the report lands, the moment to act is gone. The rep who needed last week's funnel data now has next week's problem. The CEO sees yesterday's news.

Sample report

What lands in your inbox
at 8:14 AM Monday.

An illustrative weekly board report — modeled on the structure of a typical SaaS board update. Generated automatically from sources like BigQuery, Stripe, and HubSpot, written in a founder's voice. Numbers and company details are fictional.

The week, in plain English.

Revenue is climbing on Pro tier traction; two enterprise deals stalled in legal; churn ticked up by half a point — small but worth watching. Below: the numbers, the why, and three things that need your eyes this week.

Key takeaways
  • Revenue up 12% MoM, driven primarily by Pro tier traction and one expansion deal.
  • Two enterprise deals ($340k combined) sitting in legal review — Hexagrid and Vellis.
  • Churn ticked up to 3.4% (from 2.9%). Three customers cited the same reason — see watch list.
  • Pipeline generated 142 net-new qualified leads, the highest since June.

01 What worked.

The Pro tier launch playbook from week 38 continues to drive most of the new MRR. Pro now represents 62% of net-new revenue, up from 48% last quarter. The lifecycle re-engagement we shipped two weeks ago has paid for itself: $89k in surfaced expansion revenue from accounts that were sitting cold.

On the sales side, Mira's West Coast SaaS pipeline is the standout — three closed-won deals worth $182k combined, and her response time on inbound is now under 4 minutes median, down from 38 minutes a quarter ago. The lead routing automation is the obvious driver here.

02 What didn't.

Churn moved in the wrong direction. Five accounts churned this week — three of them ($47k ARR combined) cited the same reason: they couldn't get our DPA approved by their procurement teams in time. We've been hearing this for six weeks. It's worth a real conversation about updating the standard DPA template.

The two enterprise deals in legal review have been there for 17 and 23 days respectively. Both are blocked on the same redlines around indemnification language. Recommend pulling Sarah from outside counsel into a 30-min call this week.

03 Pipeline by source.

Webforms continue to dominate but partner referrals are punching above their weight on conversion — 5 of 21 already in active sales conversations, vs the webform baseline of 12%. Worth investigating whether to double partner-comms budget next quarter.

▲ Highlights
  • Hexagrid LOI signed. Pending DPA — full $180k expected to close Nov 4.
  • Cohort 12 retention hit 94% at month 3 — best ever.
  • NPS up to 58, from 51 last month. Driven by support response times.
  • Mira's pipeline ranked #1 across all reps for 4 weeks straight.
▼ Lowlights
  • 5 churns, $47k ARR. Three cited DPA timing — repeat issue.
  • Two enterprise deals stalled >14 days in legal redlines.
  • Help-desk volume up 23% — one cluster: payment processor change.
  • Activation rate down 4pp — onboarding flow may need attention.
Three things that need you

What only you can do.

  1. Approve a streamlined DPA template. Three churns this week and two stalled deals all trace back to procurement-side DPA friction. Sarah from outside counsel has a draft ready — needs your sign-off to ship. Owner: legal · ETA: this week · Impact: ~$220k ARR at risk
  2. 30-min call on Hexagrid + Vellis legal redlines. Both deals blocked on the same indemnification language. One conversation could unlock $340k. Owner: you + Sarah · Suggested: Wed afternoon · Combined deal value: $340k
  3. Decision on partner-comms budget for Q4. Partner-sourced leads are converting 3x better than paid. We have room in the budget; need a yes/no by Friday to get materials shipped before Black Friday week. Owner: you · Decision needed: Friday · Investment: $42k for the quarter

What ships

What's in the box.

Six things you get with every auto-reports engagement. Real templates, real data, real narrative.

01

Templates for the reports you actually run.

Weekly board, monthly P&L, marketing performance, sales pipeline, ops health, customer success — whatever cadence and format you currently use, codified into reusable templates.

02

Connected to your real data sources.

BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, Metabase, Looker, GA4, Mixpanel, Stripe, HubSpot — pulled live, not screenshotted from yesterday's dashboard.

03

Written in your voice.

Trained on your existing reports, your tone, your level of detail, your jokes (sparingly). Not GPT-flavored corporate gloss. The reader doesn't know it wasn't you.

04

Insights, not just numbers.

Why the number moved, not just what it moved to. Comparisons against last period, plan, and forecast. Outliers flagged with hypotheses. Things-that-need-you separated from things-handled.

05

One-click drill-down.

Each chart links back to the live data source. Click a number, see the underlying query and rows. No more "where did this come from?" — every figure is auditable.

06

Sent on your cadence.

Slack, email, or printed PDF. Mondays at 8am, end-of-quarter, on demand — wherever and whenever you want to read. We work around your calendar, not the other way around.

How it works

Four steps,
end to end.

Step 1

Data syncs.

Pulled live from your warehouses, dashboards, and SaaS tools. Reconciled and normalised before anything else.

Step 2

Numbers + analysis.

Step 3

Drafted in your voice.

Trained on your past reports. The tone, structure, and depth match what you'd write yourself.

Step 4
!

Delivered + drillable.

Email, Slack, or PDF. Every figure is auditable — click and see the underlying query and rows.

Saved on weekly board prep at one Series B SaaS company. Founder's Monday morning went from "spreadsheet hell" to "read, react, ship." Not a spectacular metric, but it compounds — that's 200+ hours a year of founder time back.

Frequently asked

Questions we get a lot.

How do you make sure the numbers are right?
Three layers. Source-of-truth definition — we agree on the canonical query for every metric, with you, in week one. Reconciliation — automated weekly check that the report's figures match what your dashboards show, with alerts if they diverge. Audit trail — every figure links to the underlying SQL, so you (or an auditor) can verify any number.
Can the AI editorialise?
By default, no — we keep it factual. But we can dial it up. Some clients want neutral "numbers up 12%"; others want "numbers up 12%, driven by Q3 paid push, watch for September seasonality." We tune to your taste. The "What needs you" section is always opinionated.
Does this replace our analyst?
No. It removes the rote 70% — pulling numbers, formatting decks, writing the recurring sections. Your analyst now has time for the actual hard analysis: why something is breaking, what to do about it. Most clients value their analyst more, not less, after this.
What about ad-hoc reports?
On request, the agent can generate one-off reports. "Show me Q3 revenue by region with cohort breakdowns" — done in 60 seconds, with chart, narrative, and source links. Slack-bot interface for the people who want it that way.
Can it pull from systems we built ourselves?
Yes — anything with an API or a database. We've connected to home-grown billing systems, internal ticketing tools, custom warehouses. If it has data, we can read it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you in the audit.
How fresh is the data in each report?
Up to the moment of generation. For Monday 8am reports, we typically generate at 7:30am pulling all warehouse data through the prior end-of-day, plus same-morning live signals from Stripe, HubSpot, etc. Latency caveats are footnoted where relevant.
What's it cost?
Auto-reports are included in the Engine tier ($3,500/mo) — up to 3 active recurring reports. Additional reports are $300/mo each. No setup fees. Pass-through Claude API costs typically $30–120/mo depending on volume.
