The user wants a streamlined way to monitor profitability (budgeted hours vs. time tracked) at multiple levels, including:

Overview: All departments’ overall budget vs. time tracked

Department-level: Pre-production, design, and other departmental budgets vs. tracked hours

Custom insights: Ability to filter and analyze by specific custom fields or task types (e.g., “How long do we spend on tasks with custom field = XYZ?”)

Currently, they manually navigate lists, show closed tasks, and click into parent tasks to compare time tracked against estimates. The request is for automated reporting that can flag projects that are over budget or highlight healthy, under-budget projects. The goal is more flexibility and control in surfacing actionable insights automatically, without manual digging.
