Make scope explicit
Say what question was examined, what material was available and what method was used. Readers should understand what was outside the work.
Trace conclusions to sources
Identify the records that support each material point and distinguish direct observations from analysis.
Explain next steps carefully
A report may help someone decide what to ask a provider or professional. It cannot compel a third party to act or guarantee a result.
