The answer on page one, not page sixty
Most evaluation reports follow the order of the data collection. The reader meets the answer on page sixty. A commissioner with twenty minutes reads an executive summary that was written last and in a hurry, and misses what matters.
This template reverses the order. In seven steps you write the answer in two sentences, the three arguments that support it, the findings under each argument with their evidence and strength, the headlines of every section and the recommendations. A test with a colleague finds the holes before the client does. The storyline becomes the skeleton of the report and the executive summary is its first draft.
It uses the ratings from the Evidence Strength Rating Guide and ranks recommendations with the Impact and Ease Prioritisation Matrix. The Inception Report Template holds the question the storyline answers.

FAQ
What format is it?
An editable DOCX file that opens in Microsoft Office, Google, LibreOffice and Pages.
When should I use it?
After the analysis has produced findings and before you write the report. It also works at the half-way point of fieldwork, to show what is missing.
Does it suit slide decks?
Yes. The headlines in step 5 can serve as slide titles, and the one-page sheet is a good opening slide.
How fast is delivery?
Within 24 hours of confirming payment, usually much sooner.
