How useful are pre-shipment lab reports once coffee crosses the ocean?

My confusion with value of pre-shipment lab reports is that the idea makes sense on paper, but practical execution looks much less clean. The more I ask around, the more I hear opposite conclusions from people who are all experienced. That usually means the answer depends on context more than people admit.
For members here who have worked with value of pre-shipment lab reports, what condition makes it useful and what condition makes it mostly noise?

From my side this helped only on certain coffees, not on every lot. When the coffee is already forgiving, value of pre-shipment lab reports does not change much. On difficult lots the effect is clearer.

I disagree a little with people who say value of pre-shipment lab reports is only a small detail. Small detail alone maybe yes, but several small details together can move the cup a lot.

What helped me most was keeping short notes each time. Without notes, discussion about value of pre-shipment lab reports becomes memory battle and not real evaluation.

For value of pre-shipment lab reports, I only trust conclusion after I see same pattern several times. One successful run can be accident. Repetition is what make the lesson useful.

I think the bigger issue is not value of pre-shipment lab reports itself but whether your baseline is stable. If baseline keeps moving, then every experiment around it gives mixed signal.
