    Re: General

    Not "broken down" in detail seems to be the best phrase grammatically.

    Yeah it is "into." Didn't see that as the main word that he was focusing on was Broken-break.

    That's wrong. There's no such thing as that statement. You have mixed past tense in with future tense.

    i would say

    naa lol it should be broken down, but you should re phrase like

    "once the report was broken down, it was evident that there was not enough detail"
