How to interpret the report

How the report is organised

A diagnostic is multidimensional, so the report opens as an outcome-by-outcome workspace rather than a single linear document. It leads with the central challenge and the focus areas that challenge breaks into, sets out the strategic context around it, shows how those outcomes connect to one another, and then works through each outcome in turn — each with its own detailed analysis and a “Turn this into action” path. When you select several challenge areas, Cogliva produces a full analysis for every one of them, not just the main challenge, so nothing you asked about is left thin. A single-outcome diagnostic keeps the simpler flat report. You can see the shape of a finished deliverable in the example report.

Read the diagnosis first

Start with the diagnosis section and test it against what you know. Does it identify the real cause, or restate the symptom? If it misses, an input was likely vague — correct it and regenerate.

Weigh the recommendations

Recommendations are options grounded in established methods, not instructions. Assess each against the business's constraints, capabilities, and risk tolerance before adopting it.

Use KPIs and OKRs as a starting set

• Check that each metric maps to the diagnosed challenge.
• Drop or adapt metrics the business cannot actually measure.
• Confirm targets are realistic for the stated timeframe.

Treat the 90-day plan as a draft sequence

The plan shows a sensible sequence of moves. Adjust ownership, pacing, and dependencies to match the team's real capacity before committing to it.

Refine the report directly

On paid plans you can edit the generated executive summary and challenge diagnosis inline on the report, so you can sharpen the wording or add your own interpretation before sharing. Your edits are saved with the diagnostic.

Rename it and see who changed what

The report title is a suggestion you can rename inline at any time, so it reads the way you and your client expect. The report also shows who last edited it by name; hover that label to see the full history of who changed the report and when — useful when several people work on the same diagnostic.
