What goes in an executive incident summary versus the technical RCA?

The executive summary is one page, no jargon, no hostnames: what broke, what it cost, why, and what prevents recurrence. The technical Root Cause Report carries the timeline, causal chain, evidence index and confidence statement. Every template on the internet is one document for one audience; Onepane ships both.
