Answer how many people were in on Wednesday

What does an honest attendance report look like?

Three numbers with their disagreement explained.

Sign-ins, desk bookings, and the overlap, per day and per team. The interesting output is the mismatch: booked and did not come, came and did not book, and the days one floor was at capacity while another was empty.

The underlying days stay attached, which matters because the first reaction to any attendance number is to dispute it.

The visitor log, handled carefully

A visitor log is personal data about people who do not work for you.

The useful reads are the ones an office manager needs: who is expected today, which visitors never signed out, recurring visitors with no host on record, deliveries nobody collected.

Corrections and deletions wait for confirmation, and retention stays an Envoy policy question. Office patterns: ai for office managers.

Which bookings are quietly wasting space?

A weekly room booking for twelve that four people attend, a bank of desks reserved by a team that reorganised in March, a room booked every Friday by somebody who left. Individually trivial, collectively the reason people say there is nowhere to sit.

A companion reads the booking records and reports specifics with names and dates, then stages any cancellation for you. Cancelling a colleague’s recurring booking unannounced makes you the villain of a Slack thread.

What a lease conversation needs

Peak occupancy, not average attendance.

An office that averages two fifths full can still be packed every Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Tuesday figure decides how much space you need.

A companion reads sign-ins by day and hour and reports the peaks with the underlying days attached, so the number survives being questioned in the room.
