What is the optimal length for a PRPA report’s executive summary?

The optimal length for a PRPA report’s executive summary being 10-15% of the full report is appropriate because it provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the report's contents. This range ensures that the essential points, such as the objectives, methodology, findings, and conclusions, are adequately captured without overwhelming the reader.

This length allows stakeholders and readers to grasp the main themes and insights of the report quickly, enabling informed decisions without needing to read the entire document in detail. A summary that is too short may omit critical information, while one that is excessively long could duplicate content found in the report and detract from the aim of summarization. Thus, adhering to the 10-15% guideline strikes a balance between brevity and completeness, making it the most effective choice for an executive summary in a PRPA report.
