If you're talking about reports for the bishop or stake president, that's fine. But most of us follow the guidelines for reporting back to church headquarters and I don't think the guidelines allows for such inspiration. Certainly that would have to be reviewed at a higher level before that feature is added to the program.
Personally I think the 3, 4 or 12 month chart that shows visit history and gives different indications for the type of visit would work well. The numbers don't always tell the story. A companionship that always misses 1 out of 5 assignments, but rotates the missed family is different then a companionship that consistently misses the same family.
The leader is free to read the chart as they wish, but the hard numbers confirm to CHQ's instructions.
