TIL a pentest report taught me more than the scan output did

Had a chat last week with a new teammate who used to do manual pentesting for banks. I was bragging about our automated scanner findings and he just said, "the report is where the tool earns its keep, not the raw output." I always focused on CVSS scores and exploitability. But he showed me how he reads the remediation steps, the false positive notes, and the attack chain narrative. Now I'm going back through our last 3 engagements and rewriting how we summarize findings for clients. Half the value was sitting in details I skipped. Has anyone else shifted how they present tool results after hearing a senior talk about it?
