Shop Talk | Episode 6 of 10

Delivered reports

Two colleagues, one feature, fifteen minutes. George hosts, Sofia brings ten years of sourcing. The report library, and narrative reports that read like a senior analyst wrote them, exported to match. Recorded August 2026.

The first two minutes play for everyone. The full episode is available on request with a work email.

What this episode covers

A bare metrics table is never the report. Delivered reports lead with the narrative, the executive summary, the market position, the recommendations, and keep the metrics as supporting material below.

Live: the library shelf, reading a delivered benchmark, and the exports that match the on-screen document. Plus the forwarding move that turns a report into a decision.
