Google Sheets playbooks
Google Sheets is the reporting layer in these playbooks: pipeline and campaign dashboards, revenue forecasts, board deck metrics, expense logs, and lost-deal summaries, usually filled by a Zapier step on a schedule. It is a practical choice when the team already works in spreadsheets and does not need a BI tool.
