Use this structure for a client update, a marketing review, or a product discussion. Keep the opening to the findings that need a decision.
The report should make it possible to trace a percentage back to its sample and an interpretation back to the actual answer. Put remaining uncertainty beside the conclusion it affects.
Worked example
Start with
Use the outline below for a monthly review or client update. Replace every bracketed field. Keep the conclusion short enough to read before opening the detailed evidence.
Read the evidence
The completed example uses 64 mentions from 140 answers, compared with 52 from 140. Both periods contain the same number of answers. The highlighted answer supports the proposed topic to investigate; it does not prove why the aggregate number changed.
Make the decision
Separate the observed change, your interpretation, and the action requiring agreement. Give each action an owner and a review date. If the prompt set or platform mix changed, say so before comparing percentages.
Take this away
Copy the outline into your own document. Keep answer references and cited URLs with each finding so a colleague can reproduce the reasoning. Remove a proposed action if you cannot explain which evidence made it relevant.
Reusable outline
Completed report
What to put in the report

- Show 2-3 prompt examples with source evidence.
- Explain competitor movement in the same review window.
- End with a short action plan and owner.
Before you share
- Reuse one format every week or month.
- Keep screenshots secondary to prompt and citation evidence.
- Send the report fast enough that teams can still act on it.
