What this example shows
Who the artefact is for and what review question it is designed to answer.
Audience
Current setup
Recurring spreadsheet reports take too long to prepare and depend on copied figures, manual lookup steps or unclear refresh routines.
Review question
Which manual steps can be simplified, made repeatable or documented?
What a client could receive
An improved workbook structure with import steps, cleaning logic, check tabs, output tabs, measure definitions and refresh notes.
How this could be used
A real build would be agreed around your data, users, refresh needs and review questions.
Pages, filters and measures would be shaped around the data sources, refresh rhythm and audience for the final output.
The first review would agree which figures need checking, which questions the output must answer and what maintenance notes are needed.
The finished artefact can stay focused for leadership review or expand into a multi-page model where that is useful.
Questions it helps answer
Practical questions this pattern could help a team discuss.

Visible

Missing fields
Checked
Flags source columns needed by the report but missing from the current file
Manual adjustment
