Executives do not need the per-finding detail; they need a single number, a direction, and a sense of where the risk concentrates. This guide explains how to produce executive-friendly drift summaries from Vibgrate data.
Overview
There are two complementary sources for an executive summary. For a point-in-time document, generate a report from a scan with vg report. For a living, always-current view, use the Vibgrate Cloud dashboard, which already aggregates DriftScore and trends across repositories.
Prerequisites
- A completed scan for a one-off document, or pushed scans for the live dashboard.
- The CLI installed, or
npx @vibgrate/cli scanavailable.
Step-by-step
A point-in-time summary document
Generate a Markdown report — the DriftScore leads, which is exactly what a summary needs:
vg report --format markdown --out drift-summary.md
Lead your summary with the DriftScore (0-100) and whether it is up or down since last period, then a short note on the top concentration of risk.
A live executive view
For leaders who want to check status any time, point them at the Vibgrate Cloud dashboard at dash.vibgrate.com. Combined with a portfolio view, it gives a single screen that compares DriftScore across the estate.
What to include
- The headline DriftScore and its trend.
- The riskiest repositories or applications.
- A one-line ask: what would move the number.
Keep raw findings out of the executive layer; link to the detailed drift report for anyone who wants to drill in.
