Example project
Example: a geotechnical firm receives lab results as PDFs. The values are read into a table and dropped into the report template, with unreadable entries flagged for a person to check.
PDF extraction, Python, Word templatesExample project
Example: a civil firm with forty live projects sends each project manager a weekly list of tasks that have used most of their hours.
Timesheet export, Google Sheets, emailExample project
Example: a structural group keeps its standard workbooks in one library with version notes, and a project setup form copies in the current ones.
SharePoint, Excel, Power Automate
