The cleanup repeats
Same export, same mess, every week or every month.

You know what done looks like
You already have the finished report. Dropdone copies that.

Isa fit?
Probably not, if…
- Not a fit: Every report is a one-off, so there's no cleanup to repeat.
- Not a fit: You need live data piped in straight from a database.
- Not a fit: Your exports already come out clean and ready to use.
Yes, if…
- Good fit: You clean the same export every week or every month.
- Good fit: You already know what the finished report should look like.
- Good fit: Your data has to stay on your organization's computers.
Stop cleaning the same report twice.
