Depends on audience - If speed matters then just screen grabs of whatever I'm working in (Jupyter or RStudio) into an Excel workbook

If I have more time and it's more formal, then charts in a PPT

If more technical, then notebook (markdown)

Is it usually one and done? Or are they modified after the fact / kept up to date?

entirely depends on the requirements. however having said that, if your customer requests a quick one-off report you can guarantee they’ll ping you in a month asking for an update by 930am when they need to present updated results. if your customer requests a real time dashboard that requires bespoke data integrations there’s about a 50% chance they’ll look at it a couple times per month and then after a couple quarters just stop using it entirely.

Usually one and done with the occasional “can you refresh I need this for a presentation in <12, 24, 48> hours.”

They’re trying to justify some business value usually and once that’s been achieved you’re good to go
