AI for Weekly KPI Commentary

Calculate changes outside the model, then ask for a narrative that separates observations from hypotheses and identifies decisions.

Published September 22, 2026 · Dr. Connor Robertson

What to provide

Current and prior KPI exports, metric definitions, target values, and known one-off events.

Starting prompt

Summarize these verified KPI changes. State the denominator and time period, avoid causal claims without evidence, and list two questions a manager should investigate.

Trial case

Provide a KPI change caused by a revised definition rather than performance. The commentary should explain the definition break before interpreting the trend.

Review gate

The analyst checks calculations and context before leadership sees the commentary.

How to score the result

Time to publish the brief and factual corrections after distribution.

Use the current approved source and keep it available to the reviewer. Check a small set of finished outputs against the previous process before adopting this workflow.
