The Main Report (one hour to read) is for those who are interested in reviewing the report findings thoroughly without fully engaging with the underlying research. A set of exhibits highlights core research elements, the reasoning behind findings is explained, and recommendations are included in full. Data sources are generally not referenced in this version. The Appendix (two hours or more to digest) lays out the complete basis for the work undertaken through a comprehensive set of exhibits. Pages of text linking the exhibits permit the reader to follow the complete argument so that this section can be read as a stand-alone document. All data sources are fully referenced and a complete bibliography is included. |
