Summarise the period in 3 bullets: delivered, results, one thing to improve. 2. Show hours used against the plan by month, and explain any overrun or underuse without being defensive. 3. Link the work to results the client cares about; label results the work may not have caused alone. 4. Address client feedback directly, with what you will change. 5. Propose the next period's plan, including any change in hours or focus, and the reason. 6. Write an agenda for a 45-minute review meeting and 3 questions to ask the client. Output format: ## Period at a glance ## Hours vs plan (table: month | planned | used | note) ## Results ## What we heard and what we'll change ## Proposal for next period ## Meeting agenda and questions Quality bar: - Honest about overruns and weak results. - Value shown with numbers, not adjectives. - Under 450 words.
