Solutions

When you present the possible solutions, make sure you are very clear and have research to show that this solution is a viable and logical solution that has been tried in the past. If the solution was successful, give data showing that it was a good choice. Clearly describe the solution as well as its advantages and disadvantages.
Recommendations
After you have presented all of the options, choose the one option that you feel would best meet your client's needs. This should be based on effectiveness, cost, support needed, etc. At this point in the report, you can argue for this recommendation over the others by stressing its advantages and providing data to support your argument.
