Before

survey got 126 replies 74% said setup was clear verification was biggest issue

After

The survey received 126 responses. Of those respondents, 74% said the setup process was clear. Account verification was the most commonly reported problem.

Why this is better: The text separates the sample, positive result, and main issue for a readable findings paragraph.

Before

q2 was 18000 under budget contractor onboarding moved to q3 nothing else major

After

Q2 spending finished $18,000 under budget. The variance occurred because contractor onboarding moved to Q3. No other major variances were recorded.

Why this is better: The text connects the budget variance to its cause and records that no other issues were material.

Before

load test median 180 ms p95 640 ms but p95 target is 500 ms

After

Load testing produced a median response time of 180 ms. The p95 response time was 640 ms against a target of 500 ms. The p95 result therefore exceeded the target by 140 ms.

Why this is better: The text defines the measured gap and calculation, making the performance result easy to interpret.
