Problem the AI is intended to solve

The Office of Inspection (IN) is leveraging the Business Improvement Section (ACB) to automate a large number of their work processes.

Expected benefits

Distilling large data sets, interpreting graphs, writing final reports, and summarizing results is time consuming. An AI prompt can assist in creation of a rough draft in significantly less time as opposed to the time and effort commitment from DEA's human capital resources. Cost savings could be achieved from reduced full-time equivalents spent on generating end user products. In addition, the turnaround time involved with many inspection result findings work processes would decrease.

System outputs

A rough draft of inspection results would be generated for review and approval.
