With the crowd I work for, the reports are usually written up by the project leader, who has been on site, digs stuff, gets down and dirty and sees the bigger picture thanks to having access to all the records, not just the one's I produce. For me to write up a site I'd either have to run the jobs (in which case there would be a host of others digging, recording but not writing the reports) or work for myself. Not likely to happen in the near future.
