Front Pages

• The 1st page should be client-centered
• In particular the 1st page should include the
  title of the report in terms that make sense to
  the client
• The 1st page can include the team logo
• The 2nd page should be about the team and the
  class

Front Pages

• The 3rd page should be the Cover Letter.
• It should cut to the chase, but say something
  important.
• Wheres the meat?
• The 4th page should be the Executive Summary.
• The meat and potatoes.
• It further entices the reader to read on it
  provides more granularity but is not a full
  blown summation.
• It should include the good news and the bad news
  and how things were resolved.

The Last Pages

• Everything you say in the feasibility studies
  needs to be stated somewhere in the prior pages.
• Dont create new assumptions or pop up new facts.
• Again, you may have to revise the Middle Pages to
  do this right.
• Dont rewrite the Middle Section in the Last
  Pages. . . Put things where they belong and then
  refer to them.
