Compare key results with existing knowledge that supports or contradicts the findings.
acknowledge alternative explanations of results
identify discrepancies or unexpected findings
Discuss the importance & significance of results:
reiterate the goal of the project, link the outcomes to the gap in knowledge
propose testable predictions (explanations of the findings) to be explored in future work.
The focus of the conclusions depends on the project.
If the goal was to develop a new technique, the conclusion could explain the measured performance, compare the method with others, and address both benefits and disadvantages.
In some studies, the results might serve to confirm and extend prior work without an appreciable change in theory.
In other cases, the final interpretation might challenge existing dogma. However, when outcomes differ from prior research, your interpretation should objectively consider conditions that applied in all studies, and whether variability could result from differences in sample populations, study design, methods of collecting data, or other factors.
