Degreeing Cam by Measuring Overlap @ Lifters

Some guys here have "degreed" new engine installs by cranking pressure. In other words adjust the cam timing for max cranking pressure on a cylinder.

Actually degreeing a cam is just not that hard. I've done it 3x now, and every time, I have to go watch a few videos to refresh my brain and take notes.
How would ya do that? Keep pulling it down, after a comp check, adjust, reinstall, measure again? Sounds labor intensive, maybe there is a short cut I'm missing? Or maybe it's just old school work ethic, where if you want every bit of performance out of that mother you're Going to keep into it, till you just get it right!
