My client reporting format was killing our retainer, a 9am call proved it

For 2 years I sent monthly PDF reports with every metric under the sun. Last Tuesday a client on a $2,500 retainer asked me what the bounce rate meant and why it changed. I froze, realized I had no idea either. I was just dumping data to look busy instead of showing them what their money bought. Switched to a one page summary that answers 'did we make more money this month' and the next call went 10 minutes with zero confusion. Has anyone else rebuilt their reporting around a single business question instead of a dashboard full of vanity stats?
