summary

Case study of moving from manual reformatting to automated outputs at GSK: engineers build an R package that uses officer and flextable to write Word and PowerPoint, tags generated slides for QC, and integrates with existing pipelines rather than replacing them. A small team with a single-point decision maker scopes features, validates internally, and prioritizes fixes that cut turnaround time — reduced reporting time to under a week — while keeping nonprogrammers out of code.
