Before I give this to Laura for the client packet, make the printout client-ready: ensure column headers repeat on the print, scale fonts so key columns remain legible, add a small footer with report date and data cut, and preview to confirm no columns are truncated — call out any wide text that would make the client hesitate to read the table.

Questions people ask

honest answers
