A detailed chronology highlights each phase of the compromise, including initial entry, lateral movement, and the resulting outcomes. This allows stakeholders to see how attackers overcame defenses and how multiple weaknesses contributed to the final impact. Simply listing weaknesses, relying on a limited diagram, or outlining tested controls without explaining how defenses were circumvented do not show how the environment was penetrated or what the attacker achieved.
