A map of who does what to whom and where money stops moving is an industry report. The structure of value chains is key. A report gets everything wrong that comes downstream of the value chain, so the author devotes the first day to structure instead of sentences.
It is dated work by nature. One merger or licensing change can undo a section. Because of this, the report is written identifying when it was made and what it assumes has not changed since.
A good industry report has someone in that line of business excited and not cringing when they read it. Good reports have the vocabulary and grammar structures in the right places, and know what regulators actually matter, as well as who/what drives the market in question - all third company lists are likely to be used as a proxy for thousands of potential companies, and privately-held fourths may do half the market more than listed companies. Accuracy here refers to the understanding of the market as opposed to the report’s tone.
Where AI falls down on industry reports
Generated industry writing tends to be outdated and rarely acknowledges it. Mentioning a company acquired last year is old news. Citing a rule that has since been revised is obsolete information. Reporting market shares from the last time training data began to thin out is also outdated. There are no time indicators in the text, so there is nothing to indicate staleness. Nothing is old in the text because nothing is new.
Sources, Analysis and Writing for No-AI Industry Reports
You mention the things you read like annual filings, regulator registers, and the trade press, and then say you like to explain the structure to someone like you, because that person probably knows that part better than any document would. When a certain trade press article and a filing disagree, you go in with both of those notes saying which one is more likely.
What Your No-AI Industry Reports Will Include
The value chain is described in plain terms and lists companies that set prices in profiles. The next 18 months is covered by a regulatory calendar and a short section describes the changing nature of the structure. Sources are at the end with access dates.
What industry reports cost
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

Questions About No-AI Industry Reports
As detailed as the brief and the word count allow. Because you pay by the word rather than by tier, depth is a decision you make rather than a package you upgrade to. Tell the writer what the reader already knows and they will pitch it there.
Yes. Send the template, a previous example, or the structure you are required to use, and the writer works inside it. If a required section does not fit the material honestly, they will flag it rather than pad it out.
This is typical. The writer will be assigned to the person who covered the story closest, and will conduct their research inside your regulators and your trade press, and send over the structural map in advance to allow re-adjustments to erroneous assumptions, prior to drafting.
Typically, sources have an access date and are only refreshed once a year. As sector consolidations or rule changes occur more rapidly, sources need to be refreshed more often. Writing a refresh is less expensive than a rewrite, because the author only has to check the dated claims and charges for the words that actually changed.

Two pages a minister would read
Briefing papers tend to fail by being complete rather than useful. This one leads with the decision required, gives three options with the trade-off for each, and puts the background at the end where it belongs. Our institute requires AI-detection reports on file and they came attached to the delivery email.

The caveats strengthened the argument
We anticipated the typical one-sided whitepaper on heat pump retrofits, but this one actually named the two building types for which the economics do not work. Sales Initially pushed back against this whitepaper, but it is now the asset type that converts best because engineers trust it.

Good report, chart labels messed up
The narrative was strong, and the board approved of it without any changes or comments. Two chart captions had the wrong year, and while I can say I caught it, I shouldn’t have to. They fixed it within an hour of me pointing it out. The rest of the report was in good order.
