Consumers’ sustainability sentiment and behavior before, during and after the COVID-19 crisis
“A solid analytical survey readout with disciplined number-led titles, but it's a findings catalogue rather than a Storymakers exemplar — use pp.5-8 as a teaching example for action titles, not the deck's overall structure, which lacks both Complication and Resolution.”
↓ No Resolution act — the deck terminates on p.26 with a demographic finding instead of a recommendation or 'implications for FMCG' slide

Taking Action on Nature Webinar
“A solid analytical webinar deck with quantified action titles in the middle, but it buries the thesis behind front-matter and ends in a tools reference + 'Thank you' instead of a recommendation — useful as an exemplar of declarative chart titles, not of full SCQA structure.”
↓ No recommendation or next-steps slide — closes on 'Thank you!' (p.15) after a tools dump

Global Growth Development Context
“A solid context-setting trend pack with strong quantified action titles, but it is a Setup-only deck with no Analysis or Resolution — useful as a teaching example for action-title craft, not for Storymakers narrative arc.”
↓ No Resolution act — p.11 frames the problem and the deck ends, leaving the audience with tension and no answer

PwC’s 2019 actuarial robotic process automation (RPA) survey report
“A competent survey-results report with strong quantified callouts but topic-label titles and no recommendation — useful as a teaching example of how good data can be undermined by a missing close and absent action titles.”
↓ Four consecutive slides (p.7-10) share the title 'Use of RPA within different functions in the insurer (continued)' — a textbook topic-dump anti-pattern with zero MECE signaling

Risk Management as a catalyst for growth
“An awards-ceremony deck dressed as a thought-leadership piece — useful as a counter-example of how topic-label titles and sponsor-driven sectioning suppress an otherwise defensible argument; not a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ No thesis in the opening — the cover promises 'Risk Management as a catalyst for growth' but slides 1-9 deliver only logistics and a textbook definition; the 'catalyst' claim is never substantiated

Vitamins & Dietary Supplements Market trends – Overview
“A competent PwC market-overview deck with strong declarative titles on data slides, but it is a report not a story — use slides 8-13 as a teaching example for action-title craft, not the overall structure.”
↓ No recommendation, 'so what,' or call-to-action slide — the deck stops at the last regional forecast (p.22) and jumps straight to Contacts (p.23)

Copernicus Market report
“A meticulously quantified, MECE-by-sector EU market study with strong evidence but no resolution - useful as a teaching example of consistent sectoral templates and metric discipline, not of Storymakers narrative arc.”
↓ No closing recommendation, synthesis, or call-to-action - the deck stops at Security case studies and slides into appendix (pp. 156-164).

Internet Advertising Revenue Report
“A competently-titled industry data report whose individual slide titles are above-average Storymakers craft, but the deck as a whole is a category-by-category data tour with no SCQA arc and no recommendation -- use slides 5-11 as a teaching example of action titles, not the deck structure.”
↓ No SCQA arc: there is a Situation (growth) and Complication (COVID) but no Question or Resolution -- the deck never tells the audience what to do with the findings

Dissecting 2023-24 Budget Speech
“A topic-organised budget summary that is informationally competent but narratively inert — useful as a counter-example for action-title training, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ No thesis or 'so-what' anywhere in the first 4 slides — the deck never tells the reader what to conclude about the 2023/24 budget

Challenges abound Ongoing crises call for a proactive approach
“A quarterly research bulletin with a punchy opening hook and quantified data, but no Resolution and recycled titles in the middle — useful as a teaching example of how a strong Situation/Complication can be wasted when the deck never returns to the 'call to action' it promises.”
↓ P.6, p.7, p.8 all carry the same recycled title 'Automotive Disruption Radar – Issue #7' instead of the actual insight (EV offer growing, AI investment up, mobility jobs surging) — the insight lives only in the callout

Growth remains strong for market expansion services in Asia
“A competent parallel-pillar market-sizing brief with strong action titles but no SCQA arc and no recommendation — useful as a teaching example for declarative titling and MECE industry structure, not for narrative storytelling.”
↓ No 'so what' / recommendation slide — the deck stops at p.11 and dumps into Methodology/Disclaimer with zero synthesis

Private financing of rolling stock
“A well-structured analytical study with strong MECE pillars and metric-rich titles, but it reads as a research report rather than a Storymakers deck — useful as a teaching example for action-titled data slides, not for narrative arc or closing.”
↓ No executive summary or thesis slide in the opening — the answer is delayed until p.8

Electric Vehicle Sales Review Q4 2022
“A competent quarterly market bulletin with a strong opening and quotable callouts, but it stops at analysis and never delivers a recommendation — useful as a teaching example of action-title openings and TCO framing, not as a Storymakers exemplar of a full S→C→A→R arc.”
↓ No resolution act: deck ends p.21–23 with three identical 'Electric vehicle sales data' tables, then contacts, then 'Thank you' — zero recommendations or implications for OEMs/policymakers.

2019 APAC Hospital Priority Study Overview
“A competent analytical-overview deck with strong action titles in the body but a weak opening and a missing resolution — useful as a teaching example for headline writing on data slides, not as a Storymakers exemplar of full narrative arc.”
↓ No resolution: deck ends on an open question (p.10) and contact slide (p.11) with zero recommendations or implications for MedTech players

Accenture Georgia Medicaid Oral
“A pitch deck with a strong emotional hook and a few well-voiced action titles, but it abandons narrative arc midway and ends with a question mark instead of a recommendation — useful as a teaching example for opening hooks, not for full Storymakers structure.”
↓ No resolution act: the deck ends on a '?' transition (p.14) and a title-card filler (p.15) instead of a recommendation or ask

THE IPSOS POPULISM REPORT 2025
“A well-instrumented, data-rich pollster report with strong individual trend titles but no resolution — useful as a teaching example for action titles on chart slides, not as a structural Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ No closing recommendation or synthesis — deck ends on a spending data table (p.55) and a contact slide (p.58)

IPSOS POPULISM SURVEY
“A competent research-data report with a strong opening hook but no recommendation arc — useful as a teaching example for callout discipline and section structure, but a poor Storymakers exemplar because the titles are questionnaire text and the deck ends in branding rather than a 'so what'.”
↓ Titles are survey-question text, not action titles — slides 24-31 read like a questionnaire transcript, not an argument

closing
THE IPSOS AI MONITOR 2024
“A competent survey-data report with a strong opening stat but topic-label titles and a missing resolution act — useful as a counter-example of how raw survey questions kill action titles, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ 30+ slides use the literal survey question as the title (p.11-16, 20-23, 28-40), forcing the reader to derive every insight

THE WORLD’S RESPONSE TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE
“A competent survey-results dossier with a useful early summary and strong callouts, but it fails as a Storymakers exemplar because every page is titled as a topic and there is no recommendation to land — use the callouts as a teaching example of insight sentences, not the deck structure.”
↓ Titles are uniformly topic labels, not insights — p.6 'COUNTRIES WITH STRONGEST OPINIONS' and p.11 'COUNTRIES WITH STRONGEST OPINIONS ON THEIR OWN RESPONSE' describe the chart, not the finding

Nielsen Fan Insights
“A competent data-reporting deck with strong callouts but topic-label titles and no recommendation — useful as a teaching example of clean section structure and quantified pull-quotes, but not as a Storymakers narrative exemplar.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so what' slide — deck ends at p.17 'Thank you!' with zero call to action

API Trends
“A short trend-briefing deck with decent data points but no narrative spine — useful as a counter-example showing how topic-label titles and a missing resolution act flatten a story into a list.”
↓ No SCQA opening — slides 1-3 establish context but never name a Complication or Question, so the audience has no reason to lean in

Everest Group Trust and Safety Services PEAK Matrix Assessment 2025
“A reprint of a third-party analyst evaluation rather than a Storymakers deck — useful as a counter-example of topic-label titles and a missing resolution act, not as a positive exemplar.”
↓ Eight consecutive slides titled 'Accenture profile (page X of 8)' (p.5-12) — pagination is not a title and erases the insight on each page

Global Top 100 companies by market capitalisation
“A competent PwC benchmark report with strong data hygiene but weak narrative engineering — useful as a reference artifact and as a cautionary example of how topic-label titles and a missing recommendation hollow out an otherwise data-rich deck.”
↓ No recommendation or call-to-action — the deck ends in ranking tables (pp.22-26) and a value-distribution appendix (pp.29-33), not a "so what"

March Macro Brief Financial fissures emerge
“Analytically rigorous macro chart-pack with strong action titles in the first third, but it abandons the story arc halfway and ends without a recommendation — use pp.5-21 as a teaching example of declarative titling, not the deck structure.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so what' act — deck ends on p.61 yield curves and p.62 About Accenture, so the reader never gets an ask
