Deliverables Overview

Overview of 12 auto-generated deliverable types produced from exercise data — from IR playbooks and executive AARs to board briefings and remediation roadmaps.

After Action generates 12 types of professional deliverables from exercise data. Each deliverable is produced automatically using the platform's engine modules, drawing from exercise gaps, decisions, readiness scores, and compliance mappings.

Generation Flow

Deliverables are generated through a consistent pipeline:

1. Data Collection — The engine gathers exercise gaps, decisions, readiness scores, and session events.
2. Analysis — Engine modules process the data (compliance mapping, gap prioritization, decision analytics).
3. Template Rendering — Content is assembled into the deliverable structure with sections, tables, and recommendations.
4. Review — The deliverable appears in the Ops Portal for review and editing before client delivery.
5. Export — Final deliverables can be exported as PDF or shared through the Client Portal.

Access

• Ops Portal — Full read/write access to generate, edit, and publish deliverables
• Client Portal — Read-only access to published deliverables

Customization

Deliverables are generated with platform defaults but can be edited in the Ops Portal before publishing. The AAR Editor provides a structured editing interface for the Executive AAR, while other deliverables use a section-based editor.
