Stuck at 10 articles - what's up?

Our export division has been consistently producing around 10 trade articles per quarter for the past year, focusing on market analyses for emerging economies. While the quality of these analyses is strong, we're struggling to scale our output beyond this plateau. We've tried implementing new research methodologies and even brought on an additional junior analyst, but we're not seeing a significant increase in throughput. Are other members of the forum experiencing similar bottlenecks in their content generation for global trade insights? What strategies have proven effective in accelerating the production of in-depth market reports and analyses without sacrificing detail or accuracy? We're particularly interested in workflow optimization techniques or any external resources that have been beneficial.
