Music industry essay and 'industry format'

I have several retakes to do (because I failed poorly) for my practical music course

Two of them have within the description 'in an industry standard format'

For example 'write a report, in an industry standard format, that explains...'

I am struggling to grasp what this 'industry standard format', am I missing something significant? Is the 'industry standard format' something specific?

Any help or insight would be appreciated.
