Automated report generation for test results

Purpose

1.1. Automate the collection, aggregation, and formatting of chemistry lab test results performed by technicians or instrumentation.
1.2. Automatedly generate standardized, regulatory-compliant reports for internal review and client delivery.
1.3. Automating integration with data sources — LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems), spreadsheets, or instrument APIs — to pull raw results.
1.4. Automate customization of reports based on client specifications, test protocols, and quality standards.
1.5. Enable automated delivery/distribution of generated reports via multiple channels (email, dashboard, secure link).

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Completion of a batch of chemistry tests or after result validation.
2.2. Scheduled automated report generation (e.g., daily, weekly, or post-test completion).
2.3. API/webhook call from laboratory equipment or LIMS signaling report-ready data.
2.4. Automatedly triggered by digital form submissions or uploads of test results.
