Analysis Report

An Analysis Report is a report that can support an analysis task.

• AKA: Analytical Document, Analysis Documentation.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) provide Systematic Findings from analysis processes.
  • It can (typically) document Analysis Methods and data sources.
  • It can (typically) present Statistical Techniques for data processing.
  • ...
  • It can (often) include Validation Methods for finding verification.
  • It can (often) discuss Analysis Limitations and potential biases.
  • It can (often) provide Reproducibility Guidelines for procedure replication.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a General-Domain Analysis Report to being a Domain-Specific Analysis Report, depending on its subject scope.
  • It can range from being a Simple Analysis Report to being a Complex Analysis Report, depending on its depth level.
  • It can range from being a Technical Analysis Report to being a Non-Technical Analysis Report, depending on its audience type.
  • It can range from being a Descriptive Analysis Report to being a Prescriptive Analysis Report, depending on its recommendation level.
  • It can range from being a Retrospective Analysis Report to being a Predictive Analysis Report, depending on its temporal focus.
  • It can range from being a Single-Source Analysis Report to being a Multi-Source Analysis Report, depending on its data scope.
  • ...
  • It can have Control Measures through peer review.
  • It can provide Data Interpretations with actionable recommendations.
  • It can support Decision Making across fields.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Assessment Reports, such as:
    • Risk Assessment Report for threat evaluation.
    • Impact Assessment Report for effect analysis.
    • Performance Assessment Report for capability measurement.
  • Opinion Reports, such as:
    • Expert Opinion Report for professional judgment.
    • Market Opinion Report for trend prediction.
    • Technical Opinion Report for solution recommendation.
  • Review Reports, such as:
    • Literature Review Report for research synthesis.
    • System Review Report for architecture evaluation.
    • Process Review Report for workflow analysis.
  • Investigative Reports, such as:
    • Case Study Report for detailed examination.
    • Root Cause Report for problem analysis.
    • Incident Analysis Report for event investigation.
  • Domain-Specific Reports, such as:
    • Business Analysis Reports, such as:
      • Business Case Report for investment justification.
      • Market Analysis Report for trend assessment.

  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Financial Report, which focuses on financial status rather than analysis.
  • Progress Report, which documents project progress without analysis.
  • User Feedback Report, which compiles feedback without analysis.
  • Status Report, which describes current state without analysis.
  • Incident Report, which documents occurrences without investigation.
