How much time do you actually lose updating pitch decks?

I’m curious how you guys handle this.

A lot of my time lately hasn’t been analysis or real analyst work.
It’s been pulling numbers from PDFs, updating comps, and fixing slides when source docs keep changing.

During late-night deck turns, it feels like the lowest-value work somehow eats the most hours.

How many hours a week do you think go into extracting data, pitch deck updates, and formatting fixes?

Has anyone found a way to speed this up without creating more risk?
