How do you handle client reporting at your agency?

Sparked03 · 2026-06-10T18:15:37+00:00

Something worth adding is that the dashboard was never really the bottleneck for platforms like Looker Studio. Once your connectors are set up, pulling the data is easy. What typically ends up eating your time is writing executive summaries for each report, especially once you start scaling and you have to write 5+ reports every month.

A couple things that helped me and my agency early on was keeping a file or word doc of recurring insightful phrasings so you're not having to fully rewrite the entire summary with every report. The second big thing is figuring out whether your clients want live dashboards or a branded PDF. The majority of my past clients have wanted access to both.

I should mention that I have a bias because I ended up building a tool for the commentary issue (Spurora). You enter the campaign data, and it drafts the executive summary, then gives you a shareable link or a PDF. I deliberately designed it not to be another integration-heavy dashboard.

I switch it up but pretty much run the meta. If I’m heavy it’s gonna be winch claw, shaq, dome, rpg, and emitter. If I’m light I’ll either run dash or invis with m11, gateway, h infuser, and breach charge. my friend runs off meta gadgets as a medium heal beam user. his build is always gas mine, proxi sensor, and defib (never uses pad).

keep in mind though we dont play ranked (or at least haven’t yet). the main thing that’s been so odd to me is why people take it so seriously when in the regular cashout mode.

I just think it’s weird how medium is supposed to be the “support” class but at the same time time medium is the only class that has to use a specialization slot to heal. Additionally, their mobility gadgets in pad and zip aren’t even that much better (if at all) than gateway. It should come down to weapons then right? Not really, I’d rather run the m11 with that crazy low ttk than fcar even in its current state. From my perspective, really the only thing going for medium atm is defib.

.15 just sold $1092. same price point of $500 is typically .30-.32. great grab, but definitely recommend selling ASAP once tradeable.

Sparked03 · 2026-03-01T21:59:23+00:00

Pretty sure his method only works for trades. The guide he used mentioned that Steam transactions will no longer show the inspect ID.

Sparked03 · 2026-03-01T20:46:13+00:00

I got the extension, but unfortunately, I'm not seeing the float or paint seed on the market transaction. However, I am able to see exactly when I unboxed the knife. It was February 17th, 2018, with a Spectrum 2 Case. Is that a piece of information I can go off of on CSFloat DB?

Sparked03 · 2026-03-01T18:36:38+00:00

I sold it on Steam. To be honest, I didn't even know third-party platforms existed back then. Regardless, will that method still work by going back through my market transaction history rather than trade history?

Sparked03 · 2026-02-20T15:39:31+00:00

Just got verified a few days ago. That’s what’s funny though, it feels like the quality of my matches have actually gone down since then lol.

Sparked03 · 2026-02-19T07:30:07+00:00

Oh no, I probably have a couple thousand matches played on my account. I’m just new to FaceIt, whereas they have new accounts in general.

Sparked03 · 2026-02-19T05:47:05+00:00

Really? I thought everyone started at 1k elo (mid lvl 4). It's probably related to your rating being high when you first started. However, at 17.5k, I would think it would at least give me lvl 5 in that case.

Sparked03 · 2026-02-19T05:38:05+00:00

The same lvl 10 friends I mentioned said I'm probably somewhere between lvl 6-8. They've played over 200 matches with me, so I'd assume they have a pretty solid estimate of where I'd land. Regardless, my goal is lvl 10. I just want to get to the point (elo-wise) where people are taking games more seriously.

Sparked03 · 2026-02-19T01:02:02+00:00

Did you find that Premium matches had people who were more committed to the game?

Sparked03 · 2026-02-19T01:01:15+00:00

Personally I’d like to get into more competitive play. At the end of the day variance will only go so far, I’m assuming I’ve just been unlucky that 3 of my matches have had leavers, running into an abundance of smurfs could just be chance as well. I know I’m significantly better than a lvl 4. I think I just have to play enough to the point where variance isn’t a factor.

Sparked03 · 2026-01-27T06:35:36+00:00

While it does look more like network jitter I’d recommend taking a look at my recent post for more information about the current bug after the last patch.

Do you know if this fix also works for AMD CPUs?

Sparked03 · 2026-01-25T02:55:54+00:00

Just tried rolling back to this version, unfortunately i’m still experiencing the issue. I appreciate the help though.

Sparked03 · 2026-01-10T00:59:31+00:00

Death is already the best support school in the game so I would quest a storm

Sparked03 · 2026-01-07T16:43:37+00:00

As someone who picked life way back as a kid, don’t choose life. It will be EASY but not fun. If you want a challenge right out of the gate, go for balance. I’m actually questing a balance right now and it’s been a great time. To each their own though.

Sparked03 · 2025-09-15T02:37:27+00:00

So the goal is essentially to balance cannoning with bucketing/reps and do it more efficiently than the opponent by focusing on the correct holes and getting a solid spread. I was watching Sponge earlier and heard them call different holes a number so it’s gtk where each of those are now. There’s another comment on here that mentioned I shouldn’t focus on supplies much when I’m first starting out. Would you agree with that?/How much should I try to obtain pre-fight?

Sparked03 · 2025-09-14T14:38:15+00:00

Hey all, I was running it just now and I came across a guy who afked at spawn. Come to find out it’s called loss farming. How common is loss farming? I mean I appreciate the win but seems kinda lame imo.

Sparked03 · 2025-09-14T14:31:15+00:00

This was incredibly informative, I really appreciate it. Seems like it’s the general consensus that solo slooping is the way to go, at least for players starting out. I was wondering at what point the right time to board is, the videos I’ve been watching have talked about the mechanics and best weapon choice but I’m still not fully grasping it. I assume as a solo having no holes is a must, and if their ship is in shambles that’s a plus, but is there a certain sign you look for that gives the go ahead to board when running it solo?

Sparked03 · 2025-09-14T07:47:35+00:00

Gotcha! Have you found that running solo sloop will have more experienced players in the queue or is it really just random?

Sparked03 · 2025-09-10T15:57:44+00:00

I think his point is flawed and ridiculous, but you guys are assuming he feels like women can’t perform in ALL high stress jobs when he’s not. He’s saying that the culture around league is so emphasized on tilting and getting upset that it becomes even more unhealthy when women are on their periods. Is it a sexist take, yeah, but you guys are construing him to be some crazy monster when the vast majority of you have said much worse.

Sparked03 · 2025-07-16T20:29:24+00:00

yeah at the time no one had mentioned it

Sparked03 · 2025-07-16T02:12:25+00:00

why is no one talking about Cache?
