Writing a solid investigative report is all about attention to detail. I'll make sure every idea is supported by the evidence collected, and that the language is precise and easy to follow. No room for ambiguity in a court presentation.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the guidelines here. Should I include opinions from lay witnesses or avoid that? And what counts as an "assumption" that I should avoid? I'll need to think through this carefully.
