Some areas of the system have an 'Adviser' available (eg. when listing people, in the 'Tools' menu at the top-right of the report contains several options, one of which is the 'Advisor').
The advisor will show stats & info relevant to the section you're in at the time - eg. the 'Events' section will show stats & figures for events, likewise the 'People' section will show stats & figures related to your staff & volunteers.
