I stopped writing my first

I stopped writing my first draft of any data report myself. Here's why.

Over the past few months, I've started using Claude as the first pass on every client communication — not to do the analysis, but to structure the findings once I already have them.

My workflow is now:

Clean and analyze the data myself in Python/R (this part stays 100% me)

Feed the key findings to Claude and ask him to draft a plain-language summary

Rewrite and tighten it in my own voice, cut out anything generic

The result: reports that used to take me an hour to write up now take 20 minutes, and they read clearer because I'm editing instead of staring at a blank page.

The part AI can't do: determining what finding actually matters to the client's business. That's STILL 100% WITH ME.

What's one part of your workflow you've handed off to AI, and one part you'd never trust it with?
