Every two weeks, an operations manager at a small local business was rebuilding a detailed funder report by hand. She copied last month's spreadsheet, undid the formatting, then retyped and reformatted every cell all over again. The rules for formatting it correctly lived only in her head, and small mistakes delayed payments the business was counting on.
We looked at real past reports until every unwritten rule was recorded in our notes. Then I built a simple tool inside the Google account she already used. With this tool, she enters one line at a time, and the finished table builds as she types. One click adds a print-ready copy of her new, complete, properly formatted report to her running Google Sheets workbook.
A report that took hours now takes one sitting, with fewer errors holding up payment.
