I'm dialing in super late, but seeing this format made me think of
using inline todos for this. Could that be possible? I haven't tried a
test case, but made me think:

- insert inline todos where you have your recommendations below
- maybe use special tag or todo keyword
- create agenda view via elisp src block that could spit out the
results in your conclusions section
- I'm sure someone here could get the ID/link inserted :)

Any interest in trying something like that?

Here was some discussion about inline todos and the comments package.
Looks like Eric was in on that discussion as well!
