I have worked on a patent. There is no streamline process to obtaining a patent. The associated legal fees generally range $10,000 - $100,000 per patent.
I would recommend a tour of the US-PTO as an alternative.

Does anyone know a streamlined and reliable way to Patent our team's
invention?
I'd like to show them how to patent their ideas for the future too.
