Synthesis
Pulling the findings into a clear so-what and recommendation.
Last reviewedWhat does Synthesis mean?
Synthesis is the skill of taking everything you have found and saying what it means and what to do, in a short, top-down way. It is not a summary of what you did; it is the answer to the question, with the reasons and the risks. The close of every case is a synthesis.
