概括 (gài kuò) — (verb) to summarize, to generalize; (adjective) brief, general, in broad outline
Definition
概括 is to summarize the main points in broad strokes — more general and 'big-picture' than 总结, which is a fuller recap. As an adjective it describes a brief, rough statement rather than a detailed one (unlike 简短, which is just short).
