I'm writing my first undergraduate research paper for computer science and I think my lack of experience is starting to get on my supervisor's nerves. I've written a program that collects video metadata and attempts to organise videos into a coherent sequence using the metadata. The program has also been tested by a panel of users.

The supervisor has given me the following sections to work with:

> 1. Introduction
> 
> 2. Background
> 
> 3. The approach  
> 3.1. Overall approach  
> 3.2. Detailed design
> 
> 4. Key implementation decisions
> 
> 5. Experiments
> 
> 6. Related work
> 
> 7. Conclusions

I'm trying to understand the difference between (3) and (4) in the context of what I'm doing. Specifically, how is a detailed design different from implementation decisions?
