In context

Listen to someone going deep. 'Let's drill down into the quarter. The figure that jumps out is the thirty percent jump in March. But underneath that, it's largely one big client — so let me unpack the risk: if they leave, the picture changes fast. The headline is great; the detail is where the real story is.'
