Analyze and summarize results

Your inspection report transforms raw findings into a compelling case for improvement. Stakeholders need more than a list of problems; they need to understand impact and see clear paths forward. Effective reports balance comprehensive documentation with executive-friendly summaries.

Structure reports to serve different audiences. Start with an executive summary highlighting critical issues and their user impact. Follow with detailed findings organized by severity or user journey. Include specific examples showing how problems manifest and proposed solutions with effort estimates.

Make recommendations actionable and specific. "Improve navigation" helps nobody. "Add breadcrumbs to show users their location within the 5-level category hierarchy" gives designers clear direction. Support recommendations with usability principles and competitor examples when relevant. End with quick wins that demonstrate immediate value.
