Re question at bottom of this email:
"Do we ready need a Summary?"
No, you don't need a Summary, but all good technical documents have one,
and I don't think a providence review should be any different.
There will be many people likely to start reading this document, and
most of them don't want to know the details. A summary allows a reader
to quickly determine whether it is worth their while continuing to the
end or not.
