It's easy to calculate a number, it is much harder to tell what it means

We all know, that's how it usually starts - we need to know X. So, let's say X=25%. Is it bad? Is it good? Too high? Too low? In my practice, when I bring the number within context with all the other numbers that shed light on what it means... people think it is too much, that they do not need "all of that". That just need one number. So, when they get the number, they start asking questions about "all of that". The circle is now complete. If anyone knows a way out of this conundrum, please let me know.
