AI+ for Report Writing

Turn Data and Research Into Powerful Reports

Reports that get read. Recommendations that land.

You know your subject. You're less certain the report will land. The brief was vague, the recommendation is buried on page twelve, and the executive summary still needs another rewrite. This book gives you the Report BRIEF Framework to define any report's purpose before you write a word, 28 prompt templates to draft and edit with AI, and a 10-point pre-submission checklist that catches every failure before it reaches the reader. Built by practitioners. Works across business, research, policy, and performance reports.

Inside
  • 28 ready-made, market-tested prompts: report briefs, structural outlines, executive summaries, data-in-context, recommendations, pre-submission QA
  • The BRIEF Framework — purpose, audience, evidence, format — the architecture before any prose is written
  • A pyramid argument structure that puts the recommendation where it's read, not where it's buried
  • A "data in context" discipline that integrates evidence credibly without AI fabrication
  • A 30-day plan for policy analysts, clinicians, lawyers, project managers, researchers, and finance professionals across business, research, policy, and performance reporting
Who this is for

Any professional who writes formal reports as part of their role but does not consider themselves a specialist writer: a policy analyst drafting briefing papers, a nurse writing clinical audit reports, a lawyer producing research memos, a project manager compiling progress reports, a researcher writing up findings, a finance professional preparing board papers. The skill is genuinely cross-industry — the discipline of planning, structuring, drafting, and checking a report is the same whether the report goes to a government minister, a hospital board, or a venture capital committee.

Also for:Communications and strategy professionals who review and edit others' reports; early-career professionals who need to produce credible reports quickly; team leaders who want to establish a consistent report-writing standard across their teams.

You’ll be able to
  • Apply the Report BRIEF Framework to define a report's purpose, audience, evidence base, and format before drafting begins
  • Structure a formal report using a pyramid argument that leads to a clear recommendation
  • Use AI to synthesise evidence, draft sections, and generate an executive summary while maintaining human authorial control
  • Integrate data, visuals, and citations credibly using the "data in context" discipline
  • Edit and quality-check AI-assisted report content using TRUST and a pre-submission checklist
  • Adapt the report writing workflow to four major report types: business, research, policy, and performance
