Structuring Business Writing

As a supply chain manager at a large UK$-$based fast food chain, you receive quarterly reports from your team on how each regional supply chain team is performing. This quarterly report covered how the Manchester division has made significant losses for the past $14$ consecutive quarters with no improvement despite the best efforts of marketing, as well as a renovation. You start to wonder whether or not it may just not be an ideal location, and hoped to quickly scan the document and get some insight before you had time to sit down and read it thoroughly later this evening. Unfortunately, the headings you saw were very generic: background, key risks, options available, and our recommendation.

For each of these generic headings, pick the more informative and impactful replacement heading that could better serve the reader.
