# Report Tab & Executive Summary

> Generate topline findings and an AI executive summary of your study's key results

The Report tab gives you a topline view of your entire study's findings — informed by your study objectives and background information, and presented in a clean, shareable format. It's your go-to for a high-level executive summary before diving into the question-by-question depth of the Details tab.

### Key Concepts Explained

**Report Tab**: Provides topline findings and an executive summary informed by your study objectives and background information. Primarily quantitative-focused and presented at the total level. Also available for export and sharing externally.

**Executive Summary**: An AI-generated overview of your study that distills the most significant findings into a concise, stakeholder-ready format — covering key themes, notable findings, and insights grounded in your research objectives.

**Topline Findings**: High-level takeaways from your study, presented at the total level (not broken out by segment or question). Ideal for an initial read-out to leadership or clients.

### Pro Tips

* **Wait for sufficient data**: Generate your first report summary after at least 10–15 interviews are complete. Earlier summaries may miss important themes that emerge from a larger sample.
* **Use the Report tab as a starting point**: The executive summary is a powerful first draft. Review it, add your own context and expertise, and customize it for your specific audience.
* **Combine with the Details tab**: The Report tab gives you the big picture; the Details tab gives you depth on each question. Use them together for a complete story.
* **Share directly with stakeholders**: The report exports cleanly and is formatted for sharing with non-researcher audiences — perfect for executives or clients who want the headline findings.

### Quick Reference

**Report Tab sections:**

* Study overview and methodology
* Topline findings (total level, quantitative-focused)
* Executive summary of key themes
* QA information on data quality
* Export and external sharing option

### Step 2: Review Topline Findings

The Report tab presents high-level findings at the total level:

* **Study overview**: Background on the research, study objectives, and sample profile
* **Topline findings**: The most significant quantitative insights from across your study, informed by your research objectives
* **Executive summary**: An AI-generated narrative covering the key themes and what they mean
* **QA information**: Data quality indicators to help you understand the completeness of the dataset

### Step 3: Verify Key Claims

For every major finding you plan to share:

1. Note any claims that seem surprising or require validation
2. Navigate to the **Details tab** to see the underlying question-by-question data
3. Click into specific responses in the **Responses tab** to verify the source quotes

### Step 5: Move to the Details Tab for Depth

After reviewing the Report tab's high-level summary:

1. Navigate to the **Details** tab for a question-by-question deep dive
2. Download the auto-generated **PowerPoint deck** for immediate stakeholder use
3. Generate **custom reports** using a specific prompt to focus on particular themes or objectives
4. Use the right-hand navigation to explore analysis for each individual question

### Best Practices

**Before Sharing:**

* Review the Report tab summary and verify the key claims against underlying data
* Supplement the AI summary with your own research expertise and domain context
* Tailor the executive summary framing for your specific audience — executives need different framing than product teams

**After Sharing:**

* Be ready to direct stakeholders to specific questions in the Details tab if they want more depth
* Use the PowerPoint from the Details tab alongside the Report tab summary for a complete presentation package
