The WBR view

This is how the weekly business review opens: greens hidden, the whole meeting pointed at the four numbers that are off. A green metric earns silence. The scorecard’s job is to make the meeting shorter, not longer.

The one manual number

Contribution margin is still assembled by hand from four sources, so it lands three days late. Watch what it does to the room: the eight synced numbers get decisions, this one gets a debate about whether it’s right. A number nobody trusts gets argued, not acted on. Automating that pull is week 7 of the install, not because the spreadsheet math is wrong, but because a scorecard only works when nobody in the room is auditing it mid-meeting.
