How do I compare performance across different time periods?

To compare performance across time periods in Drumkit Metrics:

1. Open the Metrics dashboard.

2. Use the date range picker to select your primary period (e.g., This Month).

3. If a comparison toggle is available, enable it and select a comparison period (e.g., Last Month or Same Period Last Year).

4. Charts will display both periods side-by-side or overlaid for visual comparison.

If the built-in comparison feature isn't available:

1. Export data for Period A as a CSV.

2. Change the date range to Period B and export again.

3. Compare the two CSVs in Excel or Google Sheets.

Key metrics to compare period-over-period:

- Load volume (growth or decline)

- On-time delivery rate (service improvement or degradation)

- Gross margin (profitability trends)

- Automation usage (adoption growth)
