Writing memos is time consuming

I’m curious if anyone else finds the process of writing memos, particularly for companies new to my coverage, extremely laborious.

You’d think ChatGPT is helpful to learn and fill in the basic information but even with ChatGPT it’s tedious to revise, update the format, plug back into word and so forth. A lot of the work isn’t hard per se it just takes long to research the basics, write down notes, write a memo, fill in gaps.

Does anyone else have this problem?
