Specify:
Summary of what you and the data analysis team learned in the analysis process*. What are the key findings? (Qualitatively, no numbers necessary.)
At this point in the process, what is the desired outcome from this project? Include quantified goal or goals.
What are the decision options?
Specific recommendation, including enough information for another team to take over. You can say that you’re going to pass on data or code too. (e.g. in the Salesforce case, HR might take charge of the execution, but you can say you’ll give them the data about who needs to be paid more, you don’t need to give specific numbers)
* Use the evidence from the case study and other research you may have done.
