Well-presented results spark quick and decisive action. Stakeholders need to know what to do, why to do it, and what they risk if they don’t act on what the data is telling us. They're waiting for the bottom line, so give them the bottom line first. Change the order of how you usually report things, and include your expert point of view based on your findings and conclusions.
