Which reporting option provides the least amount of detail?

The option that provides the least amount of detail is the Summary reporting option. In a Summary report, the appraiser includes the essential findings and conclusions of the appraisal, but it does not go into as much depth as other types of reports. This format is designed to communicate the key points efficiently, making it suitable for users who need a general understanding without overwhelming detail.

Summary reports contain a condensed version of information that captures the necessary aspects of the appraisal while omitting the extensive data and analysis found in more detailed reports. As a result, the Summary reporting option is appropriate in situations where the intended audience requires a straightforward overview rather than exhaustive detail.

In contrast, Self-Contained reports include a comprehensive scope of information and supporting data, Restricted Use reports are tailored for a specific user and may include detailed information relevant to that user's needs, and Comprehensive reports provide in-depth analysis and full disclosure of methodologies and data used to reach conclusions.
