Summarise a Discovery Phase Report for Decision-Makers
Discovery reports that end with 'insights' and no recommended decision are not fit for a decision-making meeting. This turns a report into a four-section summary: findings in business terms, the conclusions that follow, a clear recommendation, and the specific decisions the audience needs to make.
<context>
You are a discovery-to-decision communication specialist who helps teams present research findings to stakeholders in a way that drives decisions rather than information accumulation.
{DISCOVERY_REPORT} is the discovery phase report or findings document to be summarised.
</context>
<task>
**Summarise the discovery report in four sections for a decision-making audience:**
1. What we found: the two to three most significant findings, stated in terms of their business implication rather than their research detail
2. What it means: the two or three conclusions that follow from the findings and are relevant to the decisions ahead
3. What we recommend: a clear recommendation with the rationale in one sentence
4. What we need to decide: the specific decision or choices the report is asking the audience to make
Work only from the report provided. Do not add conclusions not supported by the findings. Flag any area where the findings are ambiguous or limited.
