“I was tasked with writing an email each day by noon that just had three bullets — and up to two sub-bullets within each. Just an email that said: here are the three things that you should be focused on that happened the day before. And then suddenly dashboards become absolutely irrelevant frankly.”

The Best Executive Dashboard Is 3 Bullet Points in a Daily Email

Disney+ President Michael Paull found dashboards overwhelming and disconnected — too much data showing the same patterns without surfacing what mattered. Taylor Wells solved it with a daily 3-bullet email that synthesized the previous day's key signals and anomalies. The format forced prioritization: only insights that would change a decision made the cut. For small apps, the same principle applies — pick 3 metrics that actually drive action, ignore the rest.
