I built out a dozen bots, like security & region audit bots.  The Daily Report module was the largest module, I worked on all by myself, & it was one of the biggest & most important over all. The Daily Report would run each report for a bot, & collect all the data for each plugin, using a function that is coded in all the individual reports. After collecting all the data, it would generate one report and send that based on the settings.
