Packola is all about streamlining the process. We identify the important outputs. Then we work back to the inputs that are required and automate them. In a perfect world, that's it: one streamlined reporting cycle.
We've never done one like that. In the real world there are inputs which can't be automated, discretionary options which need to be allowed. But we still only do what needs to be done, pruning away figures that used to interest someone but are now just a distraction. Like a Formula One car, the end result has a shape which is not 100% sleek, but is as streamlined as it possibly can be.
