Your first report · Reading draft · 2 min

What your first report helps you see.

Your goal, the context behind it and the questions that shape a useful next step.

Your answers are the starting point

The guided intake captures what you want to achieve, a recent situation and what needs to stay in place. You can choose recorded guidance from Semmy or write at your own pace. Review the answers before continuing; they give the first report its context.

Open on the report

In the workspace preview, completing the intake opens the report and starts a short dashboard tour. Semmy points out the report, the proposed approach and the controls for finding your information. Your answers travel into the workspace, so the tour explains the dashboard rather than asking you to complete another intake.

See what is known and what needs a closer look

The first view brings together your goal and the details you provided. It highlights points to consider and shows gaps that still need investigation. A statement from your intake, a suggested direction and a verified finding serve different purposes; their basis should remain visible.

Use a concrete example

Suppose a fictional studio wants to accept more enquiries while keeping personal contact. Its first report can carry both parts of that goal forward. A suggested direction might be to organise the enquiry details and prepare a reply for review. Questions about the current mailbox, enquiry volume and review owner remain open until they are answered.

Return to the source and the version

The report preview includes views for the initial picture, further exploration, sources and versions. You can inspect the intake behind an observation and return to an earlier version. Correcting an answer gives the work a new starting point to review. A downloaded text snapshot preserves the version you are viewing.

Decide what to explore next

The first report is free in the proposed journey. It helps you discuss a direction and the information needed to make it concrete. Further research can add checked evidence as it is completed, with its source and date. The scope of that work and any paid implementation are agreed separately.
