I hear mixed opinions on this. Should you reiterate the question the client is asking to solve (eg why is there a decline in sales or how to increase profit) when you state the recommendation? (For eg. Lead with "the client asked us about X and based on the analysis I would recommend Y..). I've heard some say in real life you might be meeting a client after weeks of analysis so you need to restate what you were solving for and I've heard others say firms like Bain prefer an "answer first" approach so just lead with "based on analysis I'd recommend Y". So which one is it?
