writeup

Detailed written report

A writeup is a written account, report, or description of something—typically a summary or evaluation: The restaurant got a great writeup in the local paper, I need to finish the writeup of our findings.

In workplace contexts, a writeup often means a formal disciplinary report documenting an employee's misconduct: One more incident and you'll get a writeup.

Also spelled write-up.
