🎭 The Theatre of Reporting: 3 Questions That Stop “Green on Slide, Red in Reality”

If your steering packs feel polished but your gut says “we’re drifting,” try this evidence test next meeting:

❓ Outcome, not activity: “What measurable outcome improved since last meeting?”
❓ Variance with owner: “Where are we off-plan and who owns the correction by when?”
❓ Benefits pulse: “Which benefit moved (up or down) this last month, and what will move it next?”

If you get opinions, colors, or word salads, you don’t have control; you have theatre.

Tighten cadence, make decisions visible at gates, and run one truth set for status, risk, and benefits. That’s how you trade noise for signal and deliver with certainty.
