The calculations and the language-model output serve different purposes: the source system determines the figures; the model proposes wording. Automation can reduce repetitive work, but does not guarantee correct analysis or delivery on time.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Data, commentary and release are separate<\/h2>\n<p>A reliable process starts with a defined reporting period, currency, metric definitions and source completeness. Revenue needs a clear treatment of taxes and refunds; churn needs a numerator, denominator and observation period. Comparisons require comparable prior-period values. Pandas can calculate aggregates from real source data, but constructing a three-row DataFrame from constants is not data ingestion or aggregation.<\/p>\n<p>KPIs are key performance indicators, such as revenue or the number of new enquiries. The example below deliberately uses fixed demonstration KPIs. It produces a draft PDF, with an optional OpenAI commentary. Database extraction, review of the wording and figures, scheduling and email distribution are separate steps. No report is sent by the script.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"lw-diagram\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lukaswojcik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/diagrams\/dia-506-reporting-20261024.png\" width=\"1120\" height=\"580\" alt=\"Validated inputs and optional AI commentary produce a draft; release and distribution require a separate decision.\"><figcaption>Validated inputs and optional AI commentary produce a draft; release and distribution require a separate decision.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>2. A Unicode-capable Python example<\/h2>\n<p>A dedicated virtual environment needs the maintained <code>fpdf2<\/code> and <code>openai<\/code> packages. The import remains <code>from fpdf import FPDF<\/code>; installing the legacy <code>fpdf<\/code> package alongside fpdf2 can create conflicts. A lockfile records the exact tested dependency versions so another installation can use the same package versions. <code>REPORT_FONT<\/code> must point to a licensed Unicode TTF font covering the expected characters, such as DejaVu Sans. Without an explicit path the script expects <code>DejaVuSans.ttf<\/code> in its working directory.<\/p>\n<p><code>OPENAI_API_KEY<\/code> enables the optional API call. Without a key, the PDF contains a fixed fallback. <code>OPENAI_MODEL<\/code> can select an available, evaluated model; <code>gpt-4o<\/code> is retained as the original example, not asserted to be the best current choice.

Incomplete, empty or overly long responses use the fallback; API errors are caught without writing request data into logs. This is technical handling, not factual verification. Missing fonts and file-system failures deliberately stop the run and need monitoring.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Review before distribution<\/h2>\n<p>The draft label remains visible even when the API returns successfully. A valid response can still swap revenue and lead counts, misstate a percentage or invent a cause. A number whitelist alone misses those errors. Structured Outputs can constrain a schema, but cannot establish that the content is true.<\/p>\n<p>Approval requires comparison with the source metrics and period, correct units, supported comparisons and neutral wording. For unattended distribution, a deterministic summary assembled from validated fields is more controllable than unrestricted generated prose. A production approval record should identify the exact input and PDF; simply checking a filename is insufficient.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Scheduling and data handling<\/h2>\n<p>A cron expression such as <code>0 8 * * 1<\/code> describes Monday at 08:00 in the scheduler\u2019s configured timezone, not automatically the reporting timezone. The job needs absolute paths, a known virtual environment, secrets available to the scheduler, a defined working directory, prevention of overlapping runs and failure alerts. A scheduler cannot guarantee timely delivery when the host or API is unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud execution additionally needs packaged fonts, writable temporary storage and suitable runtime limits. Email is a separate authenticated delivery step with a recipient check and retry protection. Unique draft filenames avoid overwriting, but do not prevent duplicate deliveries. The example has no email implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Only necessary, approved fields should reach an external API. Aggregates may still be confidential or identifiable. <code>store=False<\/code> controls response storage; it does not by itself guarantee zero retention. The applicable API data controls and organizational requirements need review before real reporting data is transmitted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lw-faq\">\n<h2>Questions and answers<\/h2>\n<h3>Why not use Arial from the built-in PDF fonts?<\/h3>\n<p>Built-in fonts have limited encodings. A Unicode TTF font resolves many German and Polish character issues, provided the font contains the needed glyphs. Unicode support is not unlimited coverage of every symbol or emoji. Rendered PDFs need visual inspection for wrapping, missing glyphs and page breaks.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the script calculate KPIs or validate the AI analysis?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The figures are fixed demonstration inputs, and the AI text remains unapproved. A real implementation must add source validation and aggregation before this stage and a release decision afterward. The useful outcome is a reproducible draft with explicit boundaries, not a complete enterprise reporting service.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"lw-quellen\"><h2>Sources<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.openai.com\/api\/reference\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OpenAI API reference<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.openai.com\/api\/reference\/python\/resources\/responses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Responses API<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.openai.com\/api\/docs\/guides\/structured-outputs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Structured Outputs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.openai.com\/api\/docs\/guides\/your-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OpenAI data controls<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/py-pdf.github.io\/fpdf2\/Unicode.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fpdf2 Unicode<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/py-pdf.github.io\/fpdf2\/Tutorial.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fpdf2 tutorial<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/man7.org\/linux\/man-pages\/man5\/crontab.5.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crontab manual<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Python example for a PDF draft using fixed demonstration metrics and optional OpenAI commentary.
