Pull the figures that actually drive decisions out of the systems that hold them, on a schedule, in a form the owner will read.
Automated internal reporting collects figures from the systems that hold them (CRM, phone, website, accounting) and delivers a consolidated summary on a schedule. The value is not the chart; it is that the numbers arrive without anyone spending a morning assembling them, so they actually get looked at.
Somebody spends hours each month assembling the same report by hand
Numbers live in four systems that disagree with each other
By the time the report exists, the period it describes is over
Reports show what happened without indicating what to do about it
HOW IT WORKS
Start from what decisions the report should inform. A report that supports no decision is a chart nobody reads.
One agreed definition per figure, documented, so the same word means the same thing across systems.
Pull on a schedule with checks for missing or anomalous data, so a broken integration surfaces as an alert rather than a wrong number.
The figure, the direction, and the notable exception, not a dashboard link somebody has to go and interpret.
Automation that touches customers needs limits built in from the start. These are not optional extras.
A validation step so incomplete data is flagged rather than reported
Documented metric definitions that survive staff changes
Access control on anything containing customer or financial detail
A named owner for each report, so anomalies get investigated
Agreed before launch, so the question of whether it was worth doing has an answer rather than an opinion.

Reporting lag from period end to delivery
Data-quality exceptions caught before delivery
Whether the report is actually opened and used
Enough to answer a few specific questions: where work is coming from, how fast enquiries are answered, how many convert, and what is outstanding. Tracking more than you will act on adds cost without adding decisions.
Almost always because the same word is defined differently in each: a "lead" in the CRM is not a "session" in analytics. Fixing definitions is more valuable than fixing dashboards.
It can draft the narrative around figures pulled from source systems. The figures themselves should never be generated by a model: retrieved and stated, not inferred.

A systems review says whether this is your actual constraint or a distraction from a bigger one. Both answers are useful.
