# Deliver Ground Truth Post-Session

Prepare a concise, evidence-based summary of observations, outcomes, and recommendations. Present this 'ground truth' to key stakeholders, especially those who were not fully present, framing it as a path to their ultimate success.

## Example

After the manager left the workshop, the facilitators debriefed him with a 'McKinsey-style' presentation, detailing observed insights (e.g., technical vs. business edge cases) and offering recommendations, even if they challenged his initial assumptions.
