The 18th is the deadline for the initial ASSESSMENT by the DNI. After the assessment, there needs to be an evaluation report by the AG and Secretary of Homeland Security and/or any other relevant agency.
The key is that any of this can happen prior to the deadline (and could have already happened). Once these are complete they have to go through the 'Framework' they decided on in 2018--All of which is classified.
My guess is similar to u/DangleBarry, I think it will happen 12/24.
