Conclusions
The conclusions bring together the important findings or recommendations from your document.
Tip: write the conclusions second, after writing the summary.
Some readers might read just the executive summary and the conclusions, without reading the main body. Conclusions can be longer than the executive summary, as you should mention the important reasons behind your findings or recommendations.
