The direct answer
A useful report separates configuration changes from search-engine outcomes. A corrected directive is evidence of a repair, not proof of new traffic.
Start with the evidence
Require before-and-after URLs, directives, response behavior and dates. Ask which checks used public evidence and which used authorized Search Console access.
Make the change deliberately
Close the confirmed technical issue when the served state is correct. Keep recrawl, indexing and business-result follow-up as separate items with their own evidence.
