The most important part of a technical report are the results; these are what the reader needs to make a decision.  It is vital that the results paragraph be easily understood and without bias. Using a modified PEEL method, we will examine how to use structure to edit the results paragraph for clarity, keeping it objective, accurate, and brief.  

Learning Objectives: 

1. Editing structure using the ANSI / NISO Z39.
2. Editing results using a modified PEEL structure.
3. Editing recommendations using the modified PEEL to tie it to a failed result.
