1.23 Summaries are concise summaries of a given text that provide an overview or snapshot of its main points. They are typically written to give readers a quick understanding of the contents of a document without having to read it in full. There are two main types of 1.23 Summaries: Executive and Standard. Executive Summaries are typically written for business documents and are aimed at providing a brief overview of the document’s contents to a higher level audience, such as board members. Standard Summaries are written for a more general audience and provide more detail than Executive Summaries. They provide a comprehensive summary of the entire document.
