The two most useful online collaborative platform functions for this scenario would be:

  1. Video conferencing for group discussions - This allows the group to discuss their findings in real-time and facilitates effective communication.

  2. Document sharing for co-writing and co-editing - This enables group members to collaboratively create and edit the report based on the findings shared by each member.

These functions would best support the group's need for discussion and collaboration in compiling their findings into a report.
