Professional work product should make the complicated understandable.
Scope first.

Support every position.
Connect quantities, pricing, bids, photographs, and technical information to the conclusion.
Communicate clearly.
Organize the analysis so the decision-maker can understand the issue and the basis for the recommendation.
