ClearTips: Riveting reports

Adjust length and balance

Think again about your target audience. How much do your readers really want, or need, to read? Look for duplication of information across sections, for long explanations of concepts that your readers may already know, and for tangents that sidetrack your argument. If you have a highly detailed or technical section, consider making it an appendix at the end of your report. If you cut or combine sections, you may need to adjust the balance of your report. Try to keep the sections roughly similar in length.
