Reports

Waiting to be picked uplast activity Nov 5· waiting on Mark's review of the four reports

Next: Work through the open calls in c123's intents-pr5-review.md, then port to qdash.

Why we did this

The Reports page was a placeholder. C-level people, auditors and IT need what the dashboard shows without access to the controls, and the pages disagree about what time they cover.

What happened

In progress. One shared time window, a Reports catalog and a fully drawn Posture report are live in the lab. Deployment status and Inventory have their outlines. None of it is in qdash yet.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

“current state score... it is good to know in sort of time series form. So, like, know what is my trend?... that 67 is is definitely not gonna be static.”

We decided

c128-Q3 c78's Board report folds into the catalog, if there is anything useful in it. Its summary sentence, highlights and trend in words came across; its composite score did not. — Mark Parson

So now

Three reports in two categories, under one sentence that sums up the period.

We decided

c128-Q1 "Non-operator" isn't a role. It means C-level and other people who see the data but get no access to the controls. — Mark Parson

c128-Q2 Findings and SLA are a section of Posture, not their own report. — Mark Parson

So now

Score over time, what lowers it, at-risk harnesses, findings against their targets, data protection, egress, policies and framework evidence.

Asked for posture over time and named the reports

On the Aug 20 product review he asked for the score as a trend rather than a static number, and named the reports a security team hands out, including an inventory report, for people and for tools. c128 builds on that list through c78.

Set the shape and ruled the decisions

Framed Reports as data without controls, in two categories with every report time-windowed. Made the window shared with the operator pages, set 30 days as the default everywhere, and moved downloads here.
