One number first, and the detail only if you want it

Most reporting screens open with twelve cards and a chart, and a busy tradesperson closes them. The useful version leads with one figure, says plainly whether it is good, and keeps everything else one tap away. That is what this is, and it is also honest about the figures it has not got enough information to give.

What it does

What is the one figure?

Where the business stands right now, in a sentence rather than a dashboard: what came in, what is owed, and what is worth chasing. You can be looking at it for thirty seconds on a phone in a van and know whether anything needs doing today.

What if there is not enough data for a figure?

It says so, by name, rather than printing a zero or a dash. "Nobody has clocked on, so an hour's earnings cannot be worked out" is useful; a blank card is not, and a zero is actively misleading because there is no way to tell a quiet week from an unrecorded one.

Can I set a target and see whether I am on for it?

Yes, and it tells you whether the pace gets you there rather than just the total so far. Half way through the month at forty percent of target is a different conversation from half way at sixty, and a figure without the pace behind it does not start either one.

Does it look ahead as well as back?

Yes — what is booked, what is due to be invoiced, what is expected in. It deliberately refuses to give one particular figure, and the page explains which and why, because a forecast that pretends to a confidence it has not got is worse than no forecast.

Can I close off a month or a quarter?

Yes. Closing a period walks you through what is outstanding first — work finished and not billed, jobs with no price, hours nobody clocked — so a period is signed off knowing what was in it rather than on a date passing.

Does it come to me, or do I have to look?

Both. There is a weekly summary by email with the headline in it, which is how most owners actually read this, and the full page whenever you want it. The email is a prompt to look rather than a replacement for looking.

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you spend an afternoon on it rather than after.

There is no forecast of work that has not happened yet. Everything here is built from records that exist.

It is not a profit and loss statement, and should not be handed to a lender as one.

You cannot build your own cards or rearrange the page. It answers specific questions in a specific order, which is what makes thirty seconds enough.

It cannot report on cash work that was never entered.

Questions, answered

What does the Revenue Report show?

One figure for where the business stands — what came in, what is owed and what is worth chasing — with the detail one tap away.

What happens when there is not enough data?

It says which figure it cannot work out and why, rather than printing a zero. A zero cannot be told apart from a quiet week.

Can I set a revenue target?

Yes, and the page tells you whether your current pace gets you there, not just the total so far.

Do I get it by email?

There is a weekly summary with the headline figures in it, as well as the page itself.
