Report Assembly Philosophy

CRITICAL PRINCIPLE 1: A good equity research report is text-dense with lots of illustrating images.

Target density: 60-80% page coverage

CRITICAL PRINCIPLE 2: Use Claude's DOCX and XLSX skills to programmatically create the report.

REQUIRED TOOLS (Claude has built-in skills for these):

DO NOT: Manually copy/paste or describe what should be done DO: Use Claude's DOCX and XLSX skills to open files, extract data, and create the DOCX report

Content Reuse Strategy:

This approach:


Step-by-Step Report Assembly Workflow

Step 1: Organize All Inputs and Verify Files

Verify all input files exist:

Use Claude's file operations to check:

Step 1a: Extract Charts from Zip File

Before proceeding, extract all chart files from the Task 4 zip:

Expected folder structure after extraction:

[Company]_Report_Working/
├── [Company]_Research_Document_[Date].md
├── [Company]_Historical_Financials_[Date].xlsx
├── [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx (includes Task 3 valuation tabs)
│   ├── [Task 2 tabs: Revenue Model, Income Statement, Scenarios, etc.]
│   └── [Task 3 tabs: DCF, Sensitivity, Comps, Valuation Summary]
├── [Company]_Valuation_Analysis_[Date].md
├── [Company]_Charts_[Date].zip
├── task4_charts/ (extracted from zip)
│   ├── chart_01_stock_price.png
│   ├── chart_02_revenue_growth.png
│   ├── chart_03_revenue_by_product.png ⭐
│   ├── chart_04_revenue_by_geography.png ⭐
│   ├── ... (21-31 more charts)
│   ├── chart_28_dcf_sensitivity.png ⭐
│   ├── chart_32_valuation_football_field.png ⭐
│   └── chart_index.txt
└── sources_and_urls.txt

Open and inspect files using Claude skills:

  1. Read Task 1 markdown file - Use Read tool to view content
  2. Open Task 2/3 Excel file - Use XLSX skill to inspect tabs:
  3. Read Task 3 markdown file - Use Read tool to view valuation analysis
  4. Check chart files - Verify all 25-35 PNG files present

Note: Task 2's financial model file now contains both the original modeling tabs (from Task 2) AND the valuation tabs (added by Task 3). This single Excel file contains all quantitative data needed for report assembly.

Step 2: Extract Tables from Excel Using XLSX Skill

Use Claude's XLSX skill to extract data from Excel files:

Table 1: Page 1 Summary Financials

Use XLSX skill to:

  1. Open [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx
  2. Read from Income Statement tab
  3. Extract key rows: Revenue, Gross Profit, EBITDA, Net Income, EPS, FCF
  4. Extract years: 2022A, 2023A, 2024A, 2025E, 2026E, 2027E
  5. Create summary table with growth rates and margins

Table 2: Full Income Statement (40-50 line items)

Use XLSX skill to:

  1. Open [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx
  2. Read entire Income Statement tab
  3. Extract all line items (40-50 rows)
  4. Extract columns for historical (2020A-2024A) + projected years (2025E-2029E)
  5. Include all margins and growth rates

Table 3: Revenue by Product (20-30 rows)

Use XLSX skill to:

  1. Open [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx
  2. Read from Revenue Model tab
  3. Navigate to product section (typically starts ~row 5)
  4. Extract 20-30 rows showing each product category
  5. Include columns: Product name, historical years, projected years, % of Total, YoY Growth

Table 4: Revenue by Geography (15-20 rows)

Use XLSX skill to:

  1. Open [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx
  2. Read from Revenue Model tab
  3. Navigate to geography section (typically starts ~row 40)
  4. Extract 15-20 rows showing each geographic region
  5. Include columns: Region, historical years, projected years, % of Total, YoY Growth

Table 5: Comparable Companies

Extract from: Task 3 valuation tabs in Task 2's financial model (Comparable Companies tab)

Use XLSX skill to:

  1. Open [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx
  2. Read from Comparable Companies tab (added by Task 3)
  3. Extract full table with company names as row headers
  4. CRITICAL: Verify statistical summary rows are present at bottom:
  5. If statistical summary is missing, report ERROR

Expected format:

Company      Ticker  Mkt Cap  EV/Rev  EV/Rev  EV/EBITDA  EV/EBITDA  P/E   Rev     EBITDA
                     ($B)     LTM     NTM     LTM        NTM        NTM   Growth  Margin
[5-10 peers plus target, then statistical summary]

Additional Tables (7-15 more)

Extract from Task 2 financial model (with Task 3 tabs):

Use XLSX skill to extract these tables:

DCF Assumptions Table (Task 3 DCF tab)

DCF Sensitivity Matrix (Task 3 Sensitivity Analysis tab)

Scenario Comparison Table (Task 2 Scenarios tab)

Other supporting tables to extract:

Create all 12-20 tables with proper formatting.

Step 3: Write Quantitative Sections

These sections interpret the financial model.

Write in this order:

A. Financial Analysis (1,200-1,800 words)

B. Projection Assumptions (2,000-3,000 words) ⭐ CRITICAL

C. Scenario Analysis (1,500-2,000 words) ⭐ CRITICAL

D. Growth Drivers (800-1,200 words)

E. Valuation Methodology (800-1,200 words)

Step 4: Write Synthesis Sections

Write in this order:

A. Investment Thesis (800-1,200 words)

B. Risk Assessment (600-900 words)

C. Price Target & Recommendation (300-500 words)

D. Investment Summary (500-700 words) - WRITE LAST

Step 5: Integrate Company Content from Task 1

CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: Use Task 1 research document almost verbatim. DO NOT rewrite.

The company research from Task 1 (6-8K words) is already professional, substantive analysis. Objective:

  1. Reformat for Word - Convert markdown to DOCX formatting
  2. Insert charts inline - Add relevant charts from Task 4 throughout the text
  3. Minor style adjustments - Ensure consistent formatting with rest of report

Extract these sections from Task 1 research document:

Chart Integration Strategy:

Step 6: Assemble DOCX Report

CRITICAL: Create actual DOCX file, NOT markdown.

Assembly Order (Most Efficient):

Phase A: Create Structure & Add Page 1

  1. Create DOCX document
  2. Set up professional styling (fonts, headers, footers)
  3. Create Page 1 - Investment Summary (write this LAST after all analysis complete)
  4. Add Table of Contents placeholder

Phase B: Copy Task 1 Content + Insert Charts

This is 40-50% of the report - mostly copy/paste + chart insertion

Use Claude's DOCX skill to:

  1. Initialize new DOCX document

  2. Read Task 1 markdown file

  3. Extract and convert each section from Task 1 to Word format:

SECTION 1: Investment Thesis & Risks

SECTION 2: Company 101 (Pages 6-17) Copy each section from Task 1 verbatim with formatting conversion:

Result after Phase B: Pages 6-17 complete (~12 pages, 6-8K words, 8-12 charts embedded)

Key Point: Use DOCX skill to READ from Task 1's .md file and INSERT actual image files. No manual copy/paste required.

Phase C: Add Financial Analysis with Data from Task 2

This requires NEW WRITING interpreting quantitative data

Use Claude's DOCX and XLSX skills to:

SECTION 3: Financial Analysis (Pages 18-30)

  1. Add section heading: 'Financial Analysis' (level 1)

  2. Historical Financial Analysis (1,200-1,800 words) - NEW WRITING

  3. Create Table: Full Income Statement

  4. Add mandatory charts and tables for Revenue breakdown:

  5. Add additional financial charts:

  6. Projection Assumptions (2,000-3,000 words) ⭐ CRITICAL - NEW WRITING

  7. Scenario Analysis (1,500-2,000 words) ⭐ CRITICAL - NEW WRITING

  8. Growth Drivers (800-1,200 words) - NEW WRITING

Result after Phase C: Pages 18-30 complete (~13 pages, 5-7K words, 7-8 charts, 6-8 tables)

Key Point: Use XLSX skill to READ data from Task 2's Excel file, use the data to inform NEW analytical writing, and use DOCX skill to create Word tables from Excel data.

Phase D: Add Valuation Analysis from Task 3

Mix of copying Task 3 analysis + inserting data from Excel

Use Claude's DOCX and XLSX skills to:

SECTION 4: Valuation Analysis (Pages 31-40)

  1. Add section heading: 'Valuation Analysis' (level 1)

  2. Read Task 3 markdown file

  3. DCF Analysis section

  4. Comparable Companies section

  5. Valuation Summary

  6. Price Target & Recommendation

Result after Phase D: Pages 31-40 complete (~10 pages, 3-4K words, 5-6 charts, 4-5 tables)

Key Point: Use Read tool for Task 3's .md file to get written analysis, and use XLSX skill to READ from Task 3's Excel tabs (which were added to Task 2's model file) to create quantitative tables.

Phase E: Add Appendices & Finalize

Use Claude's DOCX skill to:

SECTION 5: Appendices (Pages 41-50)

  1. Data Sources & References

  2. Additional Tables

Phase F: Write Page 1 Investment Summary

NOW write Page 1 - after all analysis complete

Phase G: Add Table of Contents & Page Numbers

Key formatting requirements:

Visual Density Strategy:

Good page layout example:
┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ Section Header              │
│ Text paragraph (200 words)  │
│ [Chart embedded]            │
│ Text paragraph (200 words)  │
│ [Table embedded]            │
│ Text paragraph (200 words)  │
│ [Chart embedded]            │
└─────────────────────────────┘

BAD - Avoid:
- Full page with only one chart
- Multiple pages of pure text
- Charts grouped at end of sections

Result: 30-50 page report that is text-dense with illustrating images throughout


File Operations Summary

Throughout the entire assembly process, use Claude's DOCX and XLSX skills with actual file operations:

Reading Input Files:

Writing Output File:

Do NOT manually copy/paste. Use Claude's built-in skills to:

  1. Read from .md files (Task 1, Task 3) using Read tool
  2. Read from .xlsx files (Task 2 with Task 3 tabs) using XLSX skill
  3. Read from .png files (Task 4) as image files
  4. Write to .docx file (Task 5 output) using DOCX skill

This approach is efficient, reproducible, and ensures all data flows correctly from source files to final report.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

⚠️ MOST COMMON MISTAKE: TAKING SHORTCUTS DUE TO LENGTH

Many reports fail because they use placeholders like "details would be included here" or "see model for data" instead of actually writing/extracting the content. DO NOT DO THIS. Write every section in full. Extract every table. Embed every chart. Use whatever tokens are needed.

  1. Rewriting Task 1 content: DO NOT rewrite the 6-8K words from Task 1. Use almost verbatim - just reformat and add charts. Focus writing effort on quantitative sections (projections, scenarios, valuation).
  2. Sparse pages: Every page must have BOTH text AND visuals. Target 60-80% page density. Insert charts every 200-300 words.
  3. Grouping charts at end: Charts must be interspersed throughout text, not grouped. Place chart immediately after paragraph discussing that topic.
  4. Writing in markdown: Use DOCX format, NOT markdown
  5. Skipping Page 1 format: Must follow exact institutional format
  6. Generic bullets: Page 1 bullets need bold headers + specific data
  7. Short sections: Must meet minimum word counts
  8. Thin assumptions: Projection Assumptions MUST be 2,000-3,000 words with product-by-product and region-by-region detail
  9. Vague scenarios: Must have specific parameters for Bull/Base/Bear
  10. Plain text URLs: All citations must be clickable hyperlinks
  11. Missing statistical summary: Comps table must have max/75th/median/25th/min
  12. Charts not embedded: All 25-35 charts must be IN document, not just referenced
  13. Numbers don't match model: Verify all figures against source
  14. Skipping verification: Quality check is NOT optional

Success Criteria

A successful equity research report should:

  1. Meet all length requirements

  2. Have properly formatted Page 1

  3. Meet all section word count minimums

  4. Include all 4 mandatory charts

  5. Have management bios

  6. Include comprehensive comps table

  7. Have all citations as clickable hyperlinks

  8. Be professionally formatted

  9. Have numbers matching model exactly

  10. Enable informed investment decision


Output Files

Primary Deliverable: [Company]_Initiation_Report_[Date].docx

Example: Tesla_Initiation_Report_2024-10-27.docx

Supporting Deliverable: [Company]_Financial_Model_[Date].xlsx (from Task 2)

Both files should be packaged together for final delivery.


Final Note

This is the culmination of all equity research work from Tasks 1-4. The output should be:

Standard: JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley institutional equity research.

Quality bar: Client-ready initiation report suitable for publication.


🔥 FINAL REMINDER: NO SHORTCUTS, NO COMPROMISES

Use whatever tokens are needed to deliver a complete, professional report.

This is not a draft. This is not a summary. This is not an outline. This is the FINAL PUBLICATION-READY REPORT.

If running low on tokens, that's expected and acceptable for this task. Keep going.

This represents the complete professional work product. Deliver institutional-quality research worthy of a $1M+ investment decision.
