Why We Include More Than PDF
PDF is easy to read and share, but Markdown and JSONL make the report easier to reuse in internal notes, supplier-comparison tables, and LLM workflows. The Markdown edition supports editing and selective reuse, while JSONL structures the underlying fact data as one record per line for RAG and API pipelines.
