High Quality Analytical Report

Hi Tanveer

I would suggest that it may be an Analytical Report that is of High Quality.

I produce them all the time.

Best regards

Thanx Mr. Testro,

But actually wanted to know that what is meant by “High Quality” what this report is consist of? I am now planning to move to be an analyst rather than planner. And soon I will get a commercial registration in Dubai, Qatar or may be in Karachi.

Cheers

Hi Tanveer

The report system that works for me sets down the story in structured layers.

1. The essence of the dispute

2. The contractual substantiation

3. Description of cause and effect for each delay event with snapshots of the programme embedded in the text with call out  blocks to emphasise particular points.

4. Short cogent sentences each sequentially numbered.

5. A simple summary either at the beginning or the end.

What you must not do is:

1. Produce massive charts with colours and arrows all over the place which places all events at once and is the graphic equivalent of a fireworks display.

2. Long protracted paragraphs with rambling sentences.

3. Say the same thing more than once.

4. Use roman numerals.

Good luck in your new career.

Best regards

Thanx Mr.Testro

The details you provide here are master piece for the beginners in this field. So far I believed that a high quality report is the one which is submitted to the courts and boards that contain the history of the case with all the disputes and money matters. Thanx again.

Hi Tanveer

Each report must be capable of moving up to an arbitration or tribunal hearing in its own right.

The expert witness may wish to put his own slant on it but if he/she has to make radical changes then it will looses credibility.

There are usually two elements in analytical reports:

1. Time

2. Money

I can do both.

If your report gets your client what he wants, then it tends to be seen as high quality.

If your report gets blown to pieces then it tends to be seen as rubbish.

Hi Ken

Good definition really its covers all. I am very much satisfied now.

Cheers

Hi Ken

In my experience it is the low quality reports that stand the most chance of being rubbished - and I am sure we have both seen any number of them.

Hi, Mr. Testro & Ken

Am I right to say that a high quality report is the one which contains just what the client asks/needs at the moment, or what the analyst wants client to know, or what the analyst thinks client to know?
