I would not provide the consequences; those are detailed in the paper itself.
If anything, you have an abstract at the front of the paper that will tend toward that, e.g.
We will show that there is a unique fixed point in this transformed mapping, thus demonstrating the viability of Finkleworth's proposal. We then implement that and demonstrate ...
