Report types
The three report shapes PrevIQ generates and when to use each.
PrevIQ produces three distinct report shapes. Each answers a different question.
Type A — Client summary
"Give me the overall prevalence story for one laboratory."
A sales-ready overview of a single lab. For each syndrome it includes:
- estimated specimen count and the panels involved,
- the top organisms by prevalence (up to 20 per syndrome), each with tested/detected counts, rate, tier, and confidence interval,
- the standard methodology footnote.
Use it for: client conversations, onboarding decks, and reimbursement support.
- Generate it — Reports page → pick a lab → preview → download. Or via the API.
Type B — Panel recommendation
"Which organisms belong on this lab's panel for this syndrome?"
For one lab × one syndrome, every organism is classified INCLUDE / WATCH / RARE, sorted by prevalence, with header counts for each bucket.
Use it for: panel design and menu rationalization. See Panel classifications for the rules.
Type C — Cross-client comparison
"How does this organism's rate vary across laboratories within one syndrome?"
A vendor × organism pivot for a single syndrome. Each row is an organism; each column is a lab.
Use it for: internal OSPRI analysis and benchmarking. (This view is primarily internal.)
Choosing the right report
I'm preparing for a client meeting
Start with the Type A client summary — it's the readable overview. Add a Type B panel recommendation if the conversation is about menu/panel changes.
I'm designing or trimming a panel
Use the Type B panel recommendation. The INCLUDE / WATCH / RARE buckets map directly to keep / monitor / drop decisions.
I'm benchmarking labs against each other
Use the Type C cross-client view to see one organism across all labs in a syndrome.
What every report guarantees
A transparent denominator — Every report states that rates use an all-tested-specimens denominator.
Honest precision — Tiers and confidence intervals travel with every rate — small samples can't masquerade as solid.
Next: export formats — Excel, CSV, JSON, Markdown — exactly what each file contains.
