This sort of practice killed me as a platform engineer when it was an org-wide expectation that we do these weekly demos of what a feature looks like to a user. Sure, let me just screen record a new environment buildout or a suite of applications running for ten hours and you can observe how often a problem occurs and what happens in response. Even better when an activity for a week is something like we upgraded a storage driver across all environments. What does a user see? Nothing, but the old one had bugs, including at least one CVE. Now we don't.

Lean into it.
"What does a user see? Nothing, but the old one had bugs, including at least one CVE. Now we don't."
That seems like a reasonable content for demo and with just the right amount of self-deprecating humor it can be a slightly entertaining 2 minute presentation.

The smartest folks will recognize "User sees no change" as a good thing. Keeping things stable is extremely important.
Unfortunately, too few people think that way.
