What you'll accomplish

By the end of this guide, you'll have a reliable workflow for using Claude to draft the narrative sections of your research reports — executive summary, section introductions, and implications text — in a fraction of the time it takes to write from scratch. Instead of staring at a blank slide, you'll have a strong first draft to edit.

What you'll need

  • A Claude account — free tier works; {{tool:Claude.plan}} at {{tool:Claude.price}} gives longer context windows for larger reports
  • Your key findings compiled (bullet points are fine — they don't need to be polished)
  • Knowledge of who the client is and what decision they're trying to make
  • Time needed: 15–30 minutes per report section
  • Cost: Free (or {{tool:Claude.price}} for long reports exceeding free context limits)
