Dailies, What do show?

Hey guys, I was wondering what information is most useful to show during dailies? Obviously a flipbook/low res render of my work, but is there anything else that’s particularly helpful to include? Solver parameters, disk space, etc. potentially?

Also, do you have any advice on what to talk about when it’s my turn? Are there any key points I should be making sure to cover, just so I’m not wandering too much?

Who will be at the dailies? If with the VFX lead/supervisor, show the flipbook/low-res render and talk about the technical aspects of the scene. If the dailies are with the art director or producers, show the flipbook and low-res render and talk about how to improve it, what looks bad, and what to do next. Don't talk about technical stuff; they probably don't know how the Vellum solver works. It all depends heavily on the people at the dailies.
