executive summaries
Brief document synopses
Executive summaries is the plural of executive summary, a condensed version of a longer document—typically a business plan, report, or proposal—designed to give busy readers the key points without reading the whole thing.
Despite the name, they're written for anyone who needs the gist quickly, not just executives: The grant application requires a two-page executive summary.
