2. Outline – Executive summary, background, methodology, findings, recommendations, CTA.
3. Research Layer – cite third-party analysts, customer benchmarks, proprietary data.
4. Design Considerations – include charts, call-out boxes, and glossary; ensure accessibility.
5. Peer Review – involve product/legal SMEs for accuracy.

Templates

• Draft manuscript with references + citations.
• Data appendix or methodology section.

Tips
