“A best-in-class market reference compendium that is structurally the opposite of a Storymakers deck — use it to teach chart density and MECE asset-class coverage, but cite it as a counter-example for action titles, SCQA openings, and closing recommendations.”
↓ No SCQA opening — slides 1–5 are cover/team/TOC/two charts, with no thesis or stakes established

immobilienfonds 20231231 en
“A reference booklet of peer benchmarks dressed as a deck — useful as raw material but a weak Storymakers exemplar; use only p.4 as a teaching case for insight titles, and treat the rest as a counter-example of topic-label dumps.”
↓ No thesis or executive summary in the first 3 slides — the reader never learns why this deck exists

HR Pulse Survey Presentation of results
“A competently organized survey reference document, not a Storymakers deck — useful as a negative example of how topic-ordered analytical dumps bury the insight and skip the recommendation act entirely.”
↓ Zero recommendations or 'so what' slides across 59 pages — the deck is 49 consecutive analyze_data slides with no resolution act

ipsos hisf world affairs report 2023 final
“A topic-indexed survey data dump with strong parallel structure but no thesis, no recommendation, and titles that are mostly category labels — use it as a counter-example of how to publish findings without a story, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ No executive summary, key-findings page, or recommendation anywhere in 92 pages — the insight-per-slide ratio is close to zero for a reader skimming titles

Review of efficiency of the operation of the federal courts
“This is an educational primer on how the U.S. federal courts work — not a consulting argument — and serves as a counter-example for Storymakers, useful only to illustrate what happens when a deck has topic labels but no thesis, analysis, or recommendation.”
↓ Action titles carry zero insight — every slide title is a noun phrase (e.g. p.10 'THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL COURTS', p.23 'The Appeals Process'); a reader skimming titles learns nothing.

Second Quarter 2023 Results
“This is an earnings-disclosure deck, not a consulting argument — topic-label titles, no SCQA arc, and a closing half built entirely of reconciliation tables; useful as a counter-example of what Storymakers principles are designed to replace, not as an exemplar.”
↓ Zero action titles across 25 pages — 'Non-GAAP P&L', 'Research Metrics', 'Capital Structure and Allocation' are all category labels that force the reader to mine the chart for the point
