Then briefly summarize your main findings as answers to your clients questions. Essentially, you are explaining why you recommending they take action. End the summary with a brief statement of what will happen if the client implements your recommendation. Background & Methodology Here you will provide context and any historical or technical information the reader may need to understand your findingsand nothing more. Consider what your reader already knows. You may also need to briefly explain where your data comes from and how they were analyzed. Depending on your findings, you may not even need a Background & Methodology section. Your Key Finding(s) Should Be Presented as a Full Sentence with a Subject and a Verb In the key finding section(s), you will answer your clients questions directly. You will also provide evidence (and the context surrounding the evidence), as well as your analysis of the evidence in support of your descriptive, evaluative, or prescriptive answer. You may also need to include information on any limitations associated with your findings and rebut alternative options, if necessary. Recommendations Your recommendations should link the root causes of the requestors problem, which you should have identified in your key findings section, with what needs to be done by whom. Your recommendations should be feasible, cost effective, and specific without being too narrow. Conclusion Your conclusion should place your key findings in a broader context that reminds the reader of the issues importance. Why is important that action be taken immediately? A good conclusion will weigh loss aversion against hope for the future as motivating factors.
