Deductive or BLUF - bottom line up front. Maybe this issue is obvious and so the only thing the reader needs to read is the first line. Deductive saves them time. Deductive also gives the reader something to think about while reading the rest of the argument. The alternative is inductive which gives evidence and then concludes with a conclusion. You're torturing your reader by dragging them several paragraphs into the deep. I usually write inductive as that is the way I think and then refactor into deductive as that is the best way to persuade. (I note that I wrote this inductively.)
