Workflow reporting and analytics are too thin for users to measure automation value

Users across segments report that the reporting tab lacks basic metrics, run history, success/failure rates, error details, and ROI data are either absent or hard to find. This makes it difficult for users to justify the tool to managers, debug failing workflows, or understand operational impact. Several users mention this as the weakest part of the product.

Why this action type?

A score of 88 with high confidence means the pain is real, widespread, and clearly articulated, not just noise from a vocal minority, so we can invest discovery time knowing it will pay off. The issue type is a feature request, which means users have already diagnosed a gap but haven't handed us a solution, making this the right moment to run structured customer discovery before committing to a build direction. Without that discovery, we risk shipping reporting features that satisfy surface-level requests but miss the underlying question users are actually trying to answer about automation ROI.
