A quiet Statistics tab in week one is expected — insights need history to spot patterns in, and history takes time to accumulate. Two options: wait, or backfill from your existing records.
01 Why insights need data
A "peak day" insight needs to compare days against each other — at least 7 days, ideally 14. A "margin drift" insight needs week-over-week comparison — at least 28 days. Without that history, the insights would be either silent (no comparison possible) or noisy (overfitting to one weird day).
02 What unlocks when
No setting to flip — purely data-driven. The longer you log, the more the tab fills in.
03 Can you speed it up
Yes, by backfilling. If you have a month of Z-reports or POS exports from before you started using nouz, you can log those days backdated (see Backdating an entry). All insights re-evaluate against the new data immediately. Most owners get to "full insights" in 30 minutes of backfill rather than 30 days of close-outs.
04 Wait it out
If you don't have historical Z-reports to backfill from, the only path is forward-logging. Keep your close-out discipline going — by day 8 you'll have basic insights, by day 14 most of them, by day 30 everything. The wait is finite.
