Email as delivery

Chose email over a dashboard. At the time it felt like cutting scope. Now it feels like the right model.

The audit runs. The output arrives. You read it, you act. There's no place to go and stare at data, no reason to log in and refresh, no state to manage.

Some products are better when you can't return to them. The value is in what you do with the output, not in the output itself sitting somewhere accessible.

A dashboard would have made the product feel more complete. It also would have moved it from audit tool to reporting platform. Those are different things with different expectations. The email holds the distinction.
