What is the Fix the Monthly Investment Review That course about?

Each month, the investment review starts from scratch: data pulled from disparate sources, manually validated, reformatted, and repackaged into presentations that never quite match what each stakeholder needs. Version control slips, dependencies break, and the final 48 hours are spent in reactive mode. The process is repeatable in theory, but in practice, it's a recurring time sink that undermines credibility and delays.
