1.2 Report hierarchy (numbered) 
 
A hierarchy suggests that main points work best in a sequence, from 
specific to general, or from most important to least important. 
By plotting out your ideas in a hierarchy before you begin your report, 
you create a plan of action. This hierarchy may change as you find out 
more about the property you are researching. 
Look at other models and analyse them for their efficiency in providing 
key information. Make a note of items you could adapt for your own 
purposes.  
Remember, each site may require different items of analysis, so do 
not copy other report templates without careful consideration. 
 
Exercise

ambiguities. What other criticisms can you make?
