Best way to create LUT for slog?

So I've just started trying out log footage on my A6500.  My google-fu has failed me.

IS there a standard / official set of Sony slog2 LUTs?

HOW do you create a LUT - is there a "proper" way to do this, or at least a common way?

For question 2 - I've downloaded https://generator.iwltbap.com/ and watched those videos - they make sense to me but is there something specific I'm supposed to do to convert the log besides just messing around with the curves in photoshop / lightroom? Or is everyone just messing around until they find something that looks "good"...  I've seen lots of links to LUTs people have created, but "how" did they create them - just changing some curves by eye and then creating a LUT based on that, or is there something more scientific.  Can you basically use the standard lumetri tools in PP to achieve what a LUT does for log footage, or do you need to use the LUT to fix the footage...

Getting confused because if the log footage is "flattened" where are the proper tools to "unflatten"...

Sony's own catalyst browse software has the fastest "official " way to deal with slog footage. It's a free download.

If you shoot in Slog then this will give you the best colour and tone. Sony software is best able to remap the in-camera colour space and tonal curve as it's not trying to reverse engineer it. Adds an extra step to your production as you have to process and transcode your Log footage prior to importing it into your NLE but saves time later as you will only have to perform minor tweaks to it when it's there.
