Reports answer questions someone predicted. SOQL answers yours. This page is demo content generated for the theme — replace it with the real thing, keep the tags.

## Where this starts

The situation as we actually found it, before any best practice applied.

## What changed

The decision, the trade-off it carried, and the number that moved.

## What we would do differently

Honest hindsight — the part most write-ups leave out.

## Try it yourself

- Open your Developer Edition org and follow along
- Change one thing at a time and note what happens
- When something breaks, read the error before searching it
