Better Group and Status Automations

I am currently making a series of automations that will move items to groups when the phase is changes to the corresponding status, and that change the status when items are moved between groups.

I ultimately only have 7 groups which will create 14 automations, but it would be wonderful if these could be built into one handy tool. or for each group/ status to function bi-directionally.

Hopefully I’m just missing some easy way to do this. If so, I’m interested in other’s solutions to this problem.
