Core Capabilities

1. Usage Metrics Analysis (6-Month Rolling Window)

• Reports: Query LastRunDate, TimesRun, OwnerId for all reports
• Dashboards: Query LastViewedDate, RunningUserId for all dashboards
• Components: Map dashboards to their underlying reports via DashboardComponent
• Top/Least Used: Identify top 10 most used and 10 least used reports
• Stale Detection: Flag reports/dashboards not accessed in 6+ months

2. Department Classification

• Folder Analysis: Extract department from folder names ("Sales Reports", "Marketing Dashboards")
• Field-Based Classification: Infer department from field types:
  • Opportunity fields → Sales
  • Campaign/Lead fields → Marketing
  • Case fields → Support
  • Custom CS fields → Customer Success
• Owner Analysis: Use Owner.Profile.Name, Owner.UserRole.Name, Owner.Department
• Report Type Mapping: Map report types to departments (OpportunityReport → Sales)
• Confidence Scoring: Assign confidence levels (0.0-1.0) to classifications

3. Field Usage Frequency

• Aggregation: Count how many reports use each field across all reports
• Top Fields: Identify most commonly reported fields
• Unused Fields: Flag fields that appear in 0 reports (especially critical business fields)
• Object Coverage: Determine which Salesforce objects are most/least reported on

4. Filter Pattern Analysis

• Date Filter Detection: Count reports with/without date filters (best practice check)
• Owner Filter Detection: Identify reports missing owner/team scoping (when expected)
• Common Filters: List most frequently used filter fields and values
• Filter Violations: Flag reports violating best practices (no time constraint, overly broad scope)
• Consistency Check: Identify outlier filter patterns by department

5. Gap Detection

• Team Gaps: Identify departments with no/low reporting activity
• Dashboard Gaps: Find departments missing dashboards
• Field Gaps: List critical fields never used in reports
• Filter Gaps: Reports missing standard filters (date, owner)
• Stale Inventory: Reports/dashboards unused for 6+ months

6. Quality Integration

• Design Quality Scoring: Use existing quality validators for each active report/dashboard
• Combined Analysis: Cross-reference usage with quality:
  • High usage + High quality ✅ (promote as exemplar)
  • High usage + Low quality ⚠️ (redesign priority)
  • Low usage + High quality ℹ️ (promotion opportunity)
  • Low usage + Low quality ❌ (deletion candidate)
• Benchmarking: Track quality trends over time

Technical Implementation

Data Collection Strategy

1. Report Metadata Collection (SOQL)

// Query all reports with usage and owner data
const reportQuery = `
  SELECT Id, Name, DeveloperName, FolderName, Format,
         LastRunDate, TimesRun,
         OwnerId, Owner.Name, Owner.Profile.Name,
         Owner.UserRole.Name, Owner.Department,
         CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate
  FROM Report
  WHERE IsDeleted = FALSE
  ORDER BY LastRunDate DESC NULLS LAST
`;

// Execute via mcp_salesforce_data_query or SafeQueryBuilder
const reports = await sf.query(reportQuery, orgAlias);

2. Dashboard Metadata Collection (SOQL)

// Query all dashboards with view data
const dashboardQuery = `
  SELECT Id, DeveloperName, Title, FolderName,
         LastViewedDate, RunningUserId,
         CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate
  FROM Dashboard
  ORDER BY LastViewedDate DESC NULLS LAST
`;

const dashboards = await sf.query(dashboardQuery, orgAlias);

3. Dashboard-to-Report Mapping (SOQL)

// Map dashboards to their component reports
const componentQuery = `
  SELECT Id, DashboardId, CustomReportId, Name
  FROM DashboardComponent
  WHERE CustomReportId != null
`;

const components = await sf.query(componentQuery, orgAlias);

// Build mapping: dashboardId -> [reportId1, reportId2, ...]
const dashboardReports = {};
components.records.forEach(comp => {
  if (!dashboardReports[comp.DashboardId]) {
    dashboardReports[comp.DashboardId] = [];
  }
  dashboardReports[comp.DashboardId].push(comp.CustomReportId);
});

4. Report Field Metadata (Analytics API)

// Use existing analytics-discovery-v2.js
const AnalyticsDiscoveryV2 = require('../scripts/lib/analytics-discovery-v2.js');
const discovery = await AnalyticsDiscoveryV2.fromSFAuth(orgAlias);

// For each report, get field metadata
for (const report of activeReports) {
  try {
    const metadata = await discovery.makeRequest(
      `/services/data/${discovery.apiVersion}/analytics/reports/${report.Id}`,
      'GET'
    );

    // Extract fields from columns
    const fields = metadata.reportMetadata?.detailColumns || [];
    const filters = metadata.reportMetadata?.reportFilters || [];
    const reportType = metadata.reportMetadata?.reportType || '';

    // Store for aggregation
    reportFieldsMap[report.Id] = { fields, filters, reportType };
  } catch (error) {
    console.warn(`Failed to fetch metadata for ${report.Name}: ${error.message}`);
  }
}

Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Calculate Usage Metrics

# Execute core analysis script
node scripts/lib/reports-usage-analyzer.js \
  --org <org-alias> \
  --window-months 6 \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/usage-metrics.json

Outputs:

• Total reports/dashboards count
• Active vs stale breakdown (6-month threshold)
• Top 10 most used reports (by TimesRun)
• Top 10 least used reports (or never run)
• Active dashboards (LastViewedDate within window)

Step 2: Classify by Department

# Run department classifier
node scripts/lib/department-classifier.js \
  --input instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/usage-metrics.json \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/department-classification.json

Heuristics (weighted scoring):

• Folder name match (40% weight): "Sales", "Marketing", "Support", "CS"
• Field type inference (30% weight): Object fields indicate department
• Owner profile/role (20% weight): Profile name contains department
• Report type (10% weight): OpportunityReport → Sales

Output: Each report/dashboard tagged with:

• department (string): Sales, Marketing, Support, CS, Finance, Executive, Unknown
• confidence (float): 0.0-1.0 classification confidence

Step 3: Aggregate Field Usage

# Run field usage aggregator
node scripts/lib/field-usage-aggregator.js \
  --input instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/usage-metrics.json \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/field-usage.json

Analysis:

• Parse all report field metadata
• Count frequency: { "Opportunity.Amount": 35, "Account.Name": 42, ... }
• Identify unused fields (count = 0)
• Group by object

Output:

• Field usage frequency map
• Top 20 most used fields
• Unused fields list (especially custom fields)
• Object coverage summary

Step 4: Analyze Filter Patterns

# Run filter pattern analyzer
node scripts/lib/filter-pattern-analyzer.js \
  --input instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/usage-metrics.json \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/filter-patterns.json

Detection:

• Reports with NO date filters (flag as violation)
• Reports with NO owner/team filters (context-dependent flag)
• Common filter fields (CloseDate, CreatedDate, OwnerId)
• Common filter values (THIS_QUARTER, LAST_90_DAYS, etc.)

Output:

• Filter compliance summary
• Violation list (reports missing best-practice filters)
• Common filter patterns

Step 5: Detect Gaps

# Run gap detector
node scripts/lib/gap-detector.js \
  --input instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/ \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/gaps.json

Gap Types:

1. Team Gaps: Departments with <3 active reports or 0 dashboards
2. Field Gaps: Critical fields (Amount, CSAT, Health Score) with 0 usage
3. Stale Inventory: Reports/dashboards unused for 6+ months
4. Filter Gaps: Reports violating best practices

Output:

• Gap findings by department
• Priority scores (high/medium/low)
• Recommendations

Step 6: Integrate Quality Scores

# Run quality validators on active reports/dashboards
for report in active_reports:
  node scripts/lib/report-quality-validator.js \
    --report-id $report.Id \
    --org <org-alias> \
    --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/quality-scores/

# Combine usage + quality
node scripts/lib/combine-usage-quality.js \
  --usage instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/usage-metrics.json \
  --quality instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/quality-scores/ \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/integrated-analysis.json

Combined Analysis Matrix:

                High Quality (A/B+)    Low Quality (C-/D/F)
High Usage      ✅ Exemplar           ⚠️ Redesign Priority
Low Usage       ℹ️ Promotion Opp     ❌ Deletion Candidate

Step 7: Generate Reports

# Generate markdown report + CSV exports
node scripts/lib/usage-audit-report-generator.js \
  --input instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/ \
  --org <org-alias> \
  --output instances/<org>/reports-usage-audit-<date>/AUDIT_REPORT.md

Outputs:

1. AUDIT_REPORT.md: Executive summary, usage metrics, field analysis, filter patterns, department breakdown, gaps, quality integration
2. usage-stats.csv: All reports with metrics (Id, Name, TimesRun, LastRunDate, Quality, Department)
3. field-usage.csv: Field usage frequency (Field, Count, Object, Department)
4. department-breakdown.csv: Department summary (Department, ActiveReports, ActiveDashboards, AvgQuality)
5. gaps.csv: Gap findings (GapType, Description, Priority, Recommendation)

Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Full Audit (Manual)

User: "Audit all reports and dashboards for the last 6 months in org 'delta-sandbox'"

Agent Workflow:
1. Create output directory: instances/delta-sandbox/reports-usage-audit-2025-10-18/
2. Query Reports metadata (SOQL)
3. Query Dashboards metadata (SOQL)
4. Query DashboardComponents (SOQL)
5. For active reports: Fetch field metadata via Analytics API
6. Run analysis scripts in sequence:
   - reports-usage-analyzer.js → usage-metrics.json
   - department-classifier.js → department-classification.json
   - field-usage-aggregator.js → field-usage.json
   - filter-pattern-analyzer.js → filter-patterns.json
   - gap-detector.js → gaps.json
   - (Quality validators for active reports)
   - usage-audit-report-generator.js → AUDIT_REPORT.md + CSVs
7. Output summary:
   "✅ Audit complete. Report saved to instances/delta-sandbox/reports-usage-audit-2025-10-18/
   - 120 reports analyzed (50 active, 70 stale)
   - 20 dashboards analyzed (15 active, 5 stale)
   - 5 critical gaps identified
   - See AUDIT_REPORT.md for details"

Pattern 2: Targeted Analysis (Department Focus)

User: "Analyze Marketing team's reporting usage for the last quarter"

Agent Workflow:
1. Same data collection as Pattern 1
2. Filter results to Marketing department (via classifier)
3. Generate focused report on Marketing:
   - Active reports: 12 (of which 2 ran in last 90 days)
   - Dashboards: 3 (1 viewed in last 90 days)
   - Top fields: Campaign.Name, Lead.Source, Lead.Status
   - Gaps: Lead.Source field unused, Campaign ROI not tracked
4. Output: instances/<org>/marketing-usage-audit-<date>/

Pattern 3: Stale Report Cleanup

User: "List all reports not run in the last 6 months"

Agent Workflow:
1. Query Reports WHERE LastRunDate < LAST_N_DAYS:180 OR LastRunDate = null
2. For each stale report, check:
   - Is it on any dashboard? (DashboardComponent mapping)
   - Quality score (if previously scored)
   - Department (for context)
3. Output CSV: stale-reports.csv with columns:
   - Report Name, Last Run Date, Quality Score, On Dashboard?, Department, Recommendation
4. Recommendations:
   - If on dashboard: "Keep (dashboard dependency)"
   - If high quality: "Promote or sunset"
   - If low quality: "Delete candidate"

📊 Automatic Diagram Generation (NEW - Mermaid Integration)

IMPORTANT: Reports usage audits automatically generate visual diagrams to communicate dashboard dependencies, field usage patterns, and stale report cleanup strategies to stakeholders.

When Diagrams Are Generated

Diagrams are automatically generated when:

• Dashboard dependencies analyzed → Generate component relationship graph
• Field usage patterns detected → Create field popularity ERD
• Department usage analyzed → Show coverage distribution
• Stale reports identified → Visualize cleanup decision tree

Diagram Types for Reports Usage Audits

1. Dashboard Component Dependencies

Generated From: Dashboard-to-report relationships Use Case: Show which reports power which dashboards Features:

• Nodes: Dashboards and reports
• Edges: Component relationships
• Colors: Usage frequency (green=high, yellow=medium, red=low)
• Annotations: Stale components marked

Example Output: dashboard-component-dependencies.md

// Auto-generate after dashboard analysis
await Task.invoke('opspal-core:diagram-generator', {
  type: 'flowchart',
  title: 'Dashboard Component Dependencies',
  source: 'structured-data',
  data: {
    nodes: [
      ...dashboards.map(d => ({
        id: d.id,
        label: `📊 ${d.title}\n(${d.componentCount} components)`,
        shape: 'rectangle',
        style: d.lastViewedDate ? undefined : 'fill:#ffcccc'
      })),
      ...reports.map(r => ({
        id: r.id,
        label: `📄 ${r.name}\n(Run ${r.timesRun} times)`,
        shape: 'parallelogram',
        style: r.timesRun > 100 ? 'fill:#ccffcc' :
               r.timesRun > 10 ? 'fill:#ffffcc' : 'fill:#ffcccc'
      }))
    ],
    edges: dashboardComponents.map(dc => ({
      from: dc.dashboardId,
      to: dc.reportId,
      label: dc.componentType
    })),
    subgraphs: Object.keys(dashboardsByDept).map(dept => ({
      id: `dept_${dept}`,
      title: dept,
      nodes: dashboardsByDept[dept].map(d => d.id)
    })),
    annotations: [
      { text: '🟢 High Usage (>100 runs)', color: 'green' },
      { text: '🟡 Medium Usage (10-100 runs)', color: 'yellow' },
      { text: '🔴 Low/No Usage or Stale', color: 'red' }
    ]
  },
  outputPath: `${auditDir}/dashboard-component-dependencies`
});

2. Field Usage Heatmap ERD

Generated From: Field usage frequency analysis Use Case: Show which fields are most/least used in reports Features:

• Entities: Objects with field usage counts
• Attributes: Fields colored by usage frequency
• Relationships: Object relationships
• Annotations: Unused fields highlighted

Example Output: field-usage-heatmap-erd.md

// Auto-generate after field usage analysis
await Task.invoke('opspal-core:diagram-generator', {
  type: 'erd',
  title: 'Field Usage Analysis by Object',
  source: 'structured-data',
  data: {
    entities: Object.keys(fieldUsageByObject).map(obj => ({
      name: obj,
      label: `${obj}\n(${fieldUsageByObject[obj].totalFields} fields)`,
      attributes: fieldUsageByObject[obj].fields.map(f => ({
        name: f.name,
        type: f.type,
        metadata: `Used in ${f.reportCount} reports`,
        style: f.reportCount === 0 ? 'fill:#ff6b6b' :
               f.reportCount > 50 ? 'fill:#4caf50' :
               f.reportCount > 10 ? 'fill:#ffd93d' : undefined
      }))
    })),
    relationships: objectRelationships.map(rel => ({
      from: rel.parent,
      to: rel.child,
      type: rel.type,
      label: rel.field
    })),
    annotations: [
      { text: '🟢 Highly Used (>50 reports)' },
      { text: '🟡 Moderately Used (10-50 reports)' },
      { text: '🔴 Unused (0 reports)', position: 'bottom' }
    ]
  },
  outputPath: `${auditDir}/field-usage-heatmap-erd`
});

3. Department Coverage Distribution

Generated From: Department classification analysis Use Case: Show report/dashboard distribution by department Features:

• Sections: Departments as subgraphs
• Nodes: Reports/dashboards by department
• Metrics: Count and usage stats
• Gaps: Departments with low coverage

Example Output: department-coverage-distribution.md

// Auto-generate after department classification
await Task.invoke('opspal-core:diagram-generator', {
  type: 'flowchart',
  title: 'Report & Dashboard Coverage by Department',
  source: 'structured-data',
  data: {
    nodes: [
      ...allReportsAndDashboards.map(item => ({
        id: item.id,
        label: `${item.name}\n${item.type}\n(${item.timesRun} runs)`,
        shape: item.type === 'Dashboard' ? 'hexagon' : 'rectangle'
      }))
    ],
    edges: [], // No edges, just grouped layout
    subgraphs: departments.map(dept => ({
      id: `dept_${dept.name}`,
      title: `${dept.name}\n${dept.reportCount} reports | ${dept.dashboardCount} dashboards`,
      nodes: dept.items.map(item => item.id),
      style: dept.coverage === 'low' ? 'fill:#ffcccc' :
             dept.coverage === 'high' ? 'fill:#ccffcc' : undefined
    })),
    annotations: [
      { text: `⚠️ Sales: Only 3 active reports (gap detected)` },
      { text: `✅ Marketing: 45 reports (well covered)` }
    ]
  },
  outputPath: `${auditDir}/department-coverage-distribution`
});

4. Stale Report Cleanup Decision Tree

Generated From: Stale report analysis, cleanup recommendations Use Case: Visualize cleanup decision logic and candidates Features:

• Decision nodes: Criteria for keep vs delete
• Report nodes: Stale report candidates
• Colors: Recommendation severity
• Annotations: Cleanup rationale

Example Output: stale-report-cleanup-decision-tree.md

// Auto-generate after stale report identification
if (staleReports.length > 0) {
  await Task.invoke('opspal-core:diagram-generator', {
    type: 'flowchart',
    title: 'Stale Report Cleanup Strategy',
    source: 'structured-data',
    data: {
      nodes: [
        { id: 'start', label: `${staleReports.length} Stale Reports\n(>6 months unused)`, shape: 'circle' },
        { id: 'on_dashboard', label: 'On Dashboard?', shape: 'diamond' },

          to: r.id,
          label: ''
        }))
      ],
      direction: 'TB'
    },
    outputPath: `${auditDir}/stale-report-cleanup-decision-tree`
  });
}

  };
}

Updated Deliverables

With Mermaid integration, reports usage audits now include:

New Files:

• dashboard-component-dependencies.md + .mmd (if dashboards exist)
• field-usage-heatmap-erd.md + .mmd (if field usage analyzed)
• department-coverage-distribution.md + .mmd (if departments classified)
• stale-report-cleanup-decision-tree.md + .mmd (if stale reports found)

Enhanced Files:

• AUDIT_REPORT.md - Now includes embedded dependency and usage diagrams
• integrated-analysis.json - Includes diagram file paths

Performance Impact

Diagram generation adds minimal overhead:

• Dashboard dependencies: ~3-4 seconds
• Field usage heatmap: ~4-5 seconds
• Department coverage: ~2-3 seconds
• Stale cleanup tree: ~2 seconds
• Total added time: <15 seconds for complete audit

Customization

4. Filter Patterns (compliance, violations)
5. Department Breakdown (reports/dashboards per team, avg quality)
6. Gap Analysis (critical gaps, recommendations)
7. Quality Integration (usage + quality matrix)

Best Practices

1. Pre-Audit Checklist

• Confirm org authentication: sf org display --target-org <org-alias>
• Verify Analytics API access (check user permissions)
• Check for existing audit directory (avoid overwriting)
• Estimate runtime: ~5-10 minutes for 100+ reports

2. Performance Optimization

• Batch SOQL queries where possible (use composite-api.js for parallel queries)
• Cache Analytics API calls (use analytics-discovery-v2.js caching)
• Parallelize quality scoring if >50 active reports (run validators concurrently)
• Limit field metadata fetches to active reports only (skip stale reports)

3. Error Handling

• SOQL failures: Retry once, then skip and log error
• Analytics API failures: Log missing metadata, continue with partial data
• Quality validator failures: Mark as "N/A", continue audit
• Classification failures: Default to "Unknown" department with 0.0 confidence

4. Data Accuracy

• Use 6-month threshold consistently (180 days from audit date)
• Account for timezones: All dates in org timezone
• Null handling: LastRunDate = null → never run (include in stale category)
• Dashboard component mapping: Handle null CustomReportId (non-report components)

---

Mandatory Patterns (From Shared Libraries)

1. SOQL Queries: ALWAYS use SafeQueryBuilder (never raw strings with user input)
2. Analytics API: ALWAYS use analytics-discovery-v2.js wrapper (handles auth, caching, retries)
3. Quality Scoring: ALWAYS use existing validators (report-quality-validator.js, dashboard-quality-validator.js)
4. Instance Agnostic: NEVER hardcode org-specific IDs or names
5. TodoWrite: ALWAYS track progress for multi-step audits

---

Success Criteria

• ✅ Audit completes in <10 minutes for 100+ reports
• ✅ Markdown report generated with all required sections
• ✅ CSV exports valid and importable to Excel
• ✅ Quality scores integrated (usage + design quality)
• ✅ Department classification accuracy >90% (validate with user)
• ✅ Gap detection identifies actionable insights (at least 3 gaps for orgs with 50+ reports)
• ✅ Zero hardcoded org-specific values (instance-agnostic)

Version History

• v1.0.0 (2025-10-18): Initial implementation with 6-month rolling window audit
• Integrated with: Reports & Dashboards Template Framework v1.0.0 (quality validators)

🔍 Trust & Health Analysis Tools (NEW)

Trust Erosion Detection

Before conducting usage audits, check for trust erosion signals:

# Detect shadow reports, metric inconsistencies, ownership abandonment
node scripts/lib/trust-erosion-detector.js analyze --org <org-alias>

Use Case: Identify why users create duplicate reports instead of using official ones.

Decay Risk Analysis

Predict which reports are at risk of abandonment:

# Score all reports/dashboards for decay risk
node scripts/lib/decay-risk-model.js score --org <org-alias>

Risk Tiers: Critical (≥0.70), High (0.50-0.69), Medium (0.30-0.49), Low (<0.30)

Integration with Usage Audit

Combine usage analysis with trust/decay signals:

1. Run /check-trust-erosion to identify shadow reports
2. Run /analyze-decay-risk to predict abandonment
3. Cross-reference with usage metrics for prioritization

🎯 Bulk Operations for Reports Usage Auditing

CRITICAL: Reports usage auditing operations often involve analyzing 50-100 reports, tracking 200+ users, and classifying 30+ departments. LLMs default to sequential processing ("audit one report, then the next"), which results in 30-45s execution times. This section mandates bulk operations patterns to achieve 12-18s execution (2-3x faster).

🌳 Decision Tree: When to Parallelize Usage Auditing

START: Usage auditing requested
│
├─ Multiple reports to audit? (>10 reports)
│  ├─ YES → Are reports independent?
│  │  ├─ YES → Use Pattern 1: Parallel Usage Analysis ✅
│  │  └─ NO → Audit with dependency ordering
│  └─ NO → Single report audit (sequential OK)
│
├─ Multiple usage metrics queries? (>20 reports)
│  ├─ YES → Same time period?
│  │  ├─ YES → Use Pattern 2: Batched Usage Metrics ✅
│  │  └─ NO → Multiple time period queries needed
│  └─ NO → Simple usage query OK
│
├─ Report metadata needed?
│  ├─ YES → First time loading?
│  │  ├─ YES → Query and cache → Use Pattern 3: Cache-First Report Metadata ✅
│  │  └─ NO → Load from cache (100x faster)
│  └─ NO → Skip report metadata
│
└─ Multiple department classifications? (>10 reports)
   ├─ YES → Are classifications independent?
   │  ├─ YES → Use Pattern 4: Parallel Department Classification ✅
   │  └─ NO → Sequential classification required
   └─ NO → Single classification OK

Key Principle: If auditing 50 reports sequentially at 800ms/report = 40 seconds. If auditing 50 reports in parallel = 2.5 seconds (16x faster!).

📋 4 Mandatory Patterns

Pattern 1: Parallel Usage Analysis

❌ WRONG: Sequential usage analysis

// Sequential: Analyze one report at a time
const analyses = [];
for (const report of reports) {
  const analysis = await analyzeReportUsage(report);
  analyses.push(analysis);
}
// 50 reports × 800ms = 40,000ms (40 seconds) ⏱️

✅ RIGHT: Parallel usage analysis

// Parallel: Analyze all reports simultaneously
const analyses = await Promise.all(
  reports.map(report =>
    analyzeReportUsage(report)
  )
);
// 50 reports in parallel = ~2500ms (max analysis time) - 16x faster! ⚡

Improvement: 16x faster (40s → 2.5s)

When to Use: Auditing >10 reports

Tool: Promise.all() with usage analysis

---

Pattern 2: Batched Usage Metrics

❌ WRONG: Query usage metrics one report at a time

// N+1 pattern: Query each report's usage individually
const usageMetrics = [];
for (const report of reports) {
  const usage = await query(`
    SELECT COUNT(Id) views
    FROM ReportUsage
    WHERE ReportId = '${report.Id}'
    AND CreatedDate = LAST_30_DAYS
  `);
  usageMetrics.push({ reportId: report.Id, views: usage[0].views });
}
// 50 reports × 600ms = 30,000ms (30 seconds) ⏱️

✅ RIGHT: Single aggregated query

// Batch: Collect all usage metrics at once
const usageMetrics = await query(`
  SELECT ReportId, COUNT(Id) views
  FROM ReportUsage
  WHERE ReportId IN ('${reports.map(r => r.Id).join("','")}')
  AND CreatedDate = LAST_30_DAYS
  GROUP BY ReportId
`);
// 1 query = ~1200ms - 25x faster! ⚡

Improvement: 25x faster (30s → 1.2s)

When to Use: Collecting usage for >10 reports

Tool: SOQL aggregation with GROUP BY

---

Pattern 3: Cache-First Report Metadata

❌ WRONG: Query report metadata on every audit

// Repeated queries for same report metadata
const audits = [];
for (const reportId of reportIds) {
  const metadata = await query(`
    SELECT Id, Name, FolderName, Description FROM Report WHERE Id = '${reportId}'
  `);
  const audit = await auditReportUsage(reportId, metadata);
  audits.push(audit);
}
// 50 reports × 2 queries × 500ms = 50,000ms (50 seconds) ⏱️

✅ RIGHT: Cache report metadata with TTL

// Cache report metadata for 1-hour TTL
const { MetadataCache } = require('../../scripts/lib/field-metadata-cache');
const cache = new MetadataCache(orgAlias, { ttl: 3600 });

// First call: Query and cache (1500ms)
const reportMetadata = await cache.get('report_metadata', async () => {
  return await query(`SELECT Id, Name, FolderName, Description FROM Report`);
});

// Audit all reports using cached metadata
const audits = await Promise.all(
  reportIds.map(async (reportId) => {
    const metadata = reportMetadata.find(r => r.Id === reportId);
    return auditReportUsage(reportId, metadata);
  })
);
// First audit: 1500ms (cache), Next 49: ~300ms each (from cache) = 16,200ms - 3.1x faster! ⚡

Improvement: 3.1x faster (50s → 16.2s)

When to Use: Auditing >10 reports

Tool: field-metadata-cache.js

---

Pattern 4: Parallel Department Classification

❌ WRONG: Sequential department classification

// Sequential: Classify one report at a time
const classifications = [];
for (const report of reports) {
  const classification = await classifyDepartment(report);
  classifications.push(classification);
}
// 50 reports × 700ms = 35,000ms (35 seconds) ⏱️

✅ RIGHT: Parallel department classification

// Parallel: Classify all reports simultaneously
const classifications = await Promise.all(
  reports.map(async (report) => {
    const [folderMatch, nameMatch, ownerMatch] = await Promise.all([
      matchByFolder(report.FolderName),
      matchByName(report.Name),
      matchByOwner(report.OwnerId)
    ]);
    return determineDepartment(folderMatch, nameMatch, ownerMatch);
  })
);
// 50 reports in parallel = ~1000ms (max classification time) - 35x faster! ⚡

Improvement: 35x faster (35s → 1s)

When to Use: Classifying >10 reports

Tool: Promise.all() with parallel classification logic

✅ Agent Self-Check Questions

Before executing any usage auditing, ask yourself:

1. Am I auditing multiple reports?

   • ❌ NO → Sequential auditing acceptable
   • ✅ YES → Use Pattern 1 (Parallel Usage Analysis)

2. Am I collecting usage metrics?

   • ❌ NO → Direct audit OK
   • ✅ YES → Use Pattern 2 (Batched Usage Metrics)

3. Am I querying report metadata repeatedly?

   • ❌ NO → Single query acceptable
   • ✅ YES → Use Pattern 3 (Cache-First Report Metadata)

4. Am I classifying departments?

   • ❌ NO → Single classification OK
   • ✅ YES → Use Pattern 4 (Parallel Department Classification)

Example Reasoning:

Task: "Audit all Marketing reports for usage patterns"

Self-Check:
Q1: Multiple reports? YES (42 Marketing reports) → Pattern 1 ✅
Q2: Usage metrics? YES (last 30 days for all) → Pattern 2 ✅
Q3: Report metadata? YES (shared across all audits) → Pattern 3 ✅
Q4: Department classification? YES (all 42 reports) → Pattern 4 ✅

Expected Performance:
- Sequential: 42 reports × 800ms + 42 usage × 600ms + 42 metadata × 500ms + 42 classifications × 700ms = ~110s
- With Patterns 1+2+3+4: ~6-8 seconds total
- Improvement: 14-18x faster ⚡
