Meaningful reports start with consistent data
Continuous graphs show trends, but gaps and invalid states matter too. Preserve time, unit, point identity and quality. Filling gaps with zero or the previous value without explanation can create a nonexistent trend.
Define the report audience: operators review recent events, engineers examine point quality and managers assess workloads or completeness. Metrics differ by responsibility; one dashboard does not replace every need.
Check units and quantity meanings before combining instruments. Averaging different ranges, cumulative totals and instantaneous values without distinction creates numerical but uninterpretable reporting.

Interpret trends without exceeding the evidence
An anomaly invites investigation, not automatic fault diagnosis or remaining-life prediction. Consider load, operating conditions and maintenance history. Without failure evidence, describe monitoring or screening rather than guaranteed forecasting.
Separate wrong readings, unreadable observations and delivery delays with counts by condition. Overall scores can conceal night or reflection problems, while frame counts can count one event repeatedly.
Reports, exports, alerts and further analysis require confirmation with an SI partner. These explanations help define questions and trials; they do not establish existing features or guaranteed commercial conclusions.
