So all in, there are different tools needed for each report. Fortunately the way we capture the data and notes through out the "op" makes it much easier for the team to put together each part.
There's ways we could automate more, we've even messed with AI writing some of the suggestions and actions based on input. So far though, we still need the humans in the loop.
Honestly the first few reports are hardest, after that you find a process and it becomes much easier.
I've seen a lot of professions where in depth reporting still requires humans in the loop, and I think that will always be the case.
There's a small hope I have that one day writing will be a bit more like programming -- as in selecting a 'class' for a structure of a section / paragraph / thesis you want to communicate, which then provides typed functions for potential inputs -> outputs, freeing up human brain cycles for more interesting ideas.

Do you happen to have a system for building these out? As a techie, I imagine you've tried something like text-expander or similar... but I see a lot of people unsatisfied that they end up building their own tools.
