How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
Every Monday at 07:00, the 'Metrics' tab of your spreadsheet is read, one measure per row with this week's and last week's values, and the AI writes a short briefing on what changed, which way and by how much. It is emailed to you with the numbers it was written from underneath.
The briefing is told not to explain why anything moved, because a spreadsheet cannot tell you that and a plausible invented cause is worse than none. It is also told not to estimate, annualise or project, and to call a measure incomplete rather than treat a blank cell as zero. If the sheet has no readable measures you get an email saying so, since an empty sheet usually means something upstream stopped running. If the summary cannot be written, the numbers are sent on their own. Nothing in the sheet is changed.
You need a spreadsheet with a 'Metrics' tab holding 'Measure', 'This week' and 'Last week' columns.
