capsulize
Put in miniature
Capsulize means to condense information into a brief, compact form—like putting it in a capsule: Let me capsulize the main points.
The word is largely interchangeable with encapsulate, though capsulize sounds more American and slightly more informal.
It appears most often in journalism and business contexts where summarizing is valued.
