Briefly explain to the reader how the report will be organized: description of methodology (as appropriate, don"t reveal conclusions and recommendations. Create criteria to allow you to compare each alternative consistently. Consider weighting them in your analysis (pairwise comparison: introduce solution options, then evaluate solution options according to evaluative criteria. Evaluate each alternative consistently according to each criterion. Consider organizing discussion by criteria rather than solution option. For unreceptive audiences, consider placing the recommended alternative last: support the findings with evidence. Supply research, facts, statistics, argument, expert opinions, historical comparisons, survey data, and other proof from which you can draw logical conclusions. Carefully cite your sources: organize the findings for logic and readability. Use headings, enumerations, lists, tables, indents, and visual aids to focus emphasis. Conclusions and recommendations: draw reasonable conclusions from the findings.
