The economic and social impact of investment in the nbn network Methodology Report
“A credentialed methodology report with a clean two-pillar structure and strong quantitative spine, but it buries the answer and ends without a recommendation — useful as a teaching example for sound MECE pillars, not for narrative arc or opening/closing craft.”
↓ No thesis up front: pages 1-7 are entirely scene-setting; the headline number a reader should remember is never stated in the opening

narrative
THE IPSOS REPUTATION COUNCIL
“A well-evidenced research-anthology report with strong stat-anchored slides but no overall narrative spine or closing recommendation — useful as a teaching example of action-title discipline on individual data slides (p.9, p.14), not as a Storymakers structural exemplar.”
↓ No closing recommendation or CTA — deck ends on a Quickfire data slide (p.26) and three appendix pages, breaking Storymakers' resolution requirement
52
narrative
Saudi Arabia Banking Pulse
“A competent quarterly metric tour with strong action titles and quantified callouts, but it lacks a thesis-led opening and any closing recommendation — useful as a teaching example for headline-writing discipline, not for SCQA storytelling.”
↓ No recommendation, outlook, or 'what to watch' slide — the deck dies into a glossary at p.24-28
52
narrative
ROAD TO RESILIENCE
“A competently structured annual survey readout with rich data in the callouts but topic-label titles and a missing Resolution act — useful as a teaching example of how to convert callouts into action titles, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ Five consecutive slides titled 'INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHTS' (pp.12-16) signal a topic dump, not a MECE pillar; each should carry its sector name and an action verdict

narrative
modern retirement monthly report en
“A polished UBS client-education guidebook with strong MECE lifecycle pillars but weak SCQA narrative and no closing recommendation — useful as a teaching example for framework-driven structure, not for Storymakers storytelling.”
↓ No SCQA arc — deck never frames a complication; it jumps from 'why' (p.4) to framework (p.5) to lifecycle education with no tension to resolve
52
narrative
The%20CEO%20Macro%20Briefing%20Book%20 %20Insights%20for%20Dealmakers
“A data-rich macro briefing with sharp metrics and some genuine action titles, but it stops at analysis and never delivers the 'insights for dealmakers' the cover promises — useful as a teaching example for quantitative anchoring, not for narrative resolution.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so what for dealmakers' slide — the deck title promises 'Insights for Dealmakers' but ends at p.10 with an open question
52
narrative
Roland Berger Trend Compendium 2030: Megatrend 1 People & Society
“A disciplined, data-rich trend compendium with above-average action titles, but a weak Storymakers exemplar — no upfront thesis, no MECE pillar dividers, and a close that degenerates into three identical business-development CTAs; teach from individual slides, not the structure.”
↓ Three back-to-back CTA slides (p.69-71) carry identical titles and identical callouts — collapses the close into a marketing loop instead of a recommendation

narrative
pwc my electric vehicle sales review q4 2024
“A competent quarterly data review with a strong opening hook and a few sharp regional titles, but it functions as a reference document rather than a Storymakers exemplar — use p.3 and p.7 as title-writing examples, not the structure.”
↓ No recommendation or next-steps slide — the deck ends in four consecutive 'Electric vehicle sales data' tables (p.19-22), then bios and 'Thank you' (p.25)
52
narrative
GEM Outlook 2023-2027 Hong Kong
“A competent PwC outlook report with above-average action-title craft in the segment sections, but it reads as an analytical inventory rather than a Storymakers narrative — use slides 9, 13, 17, 20 as teaching examples of declarative titles, not the deck as a whole.”
↓ Section numbering jumps 02 → 04 (no section 03), signalling either lost content or a sloppy bolt-on of the GenAI module
52
narrative
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
52
narrative
A changing Fitness consumer
“A high-quality McKinsey research-insights deck with exemplary action-title craft, but it is an analytical catalog rather than an SCQA story — useful as a teaching example for title writing and evidence density, not for narrative arc or closing.”
↓ No Resolution act: the deck ends on p.44 (in-person fitness conversion) and p.45 (disclaimer) with no implications, recommendations, or prioritization across the 7 growth pockets introduced on p.34
52
narrative
Consumers at 250
“A competently titled survey-findings report with a strong 'X vs. Y' pillar device, but it stops at analysis and never resolves into a recommendation — useful as a teaching example for action titles and tension framing, not for full Storymakers arc.”
↓ No closing recommendations or 'so what' slide — deck dies on an industry data table (p.30)
52
narrative
what worries the world december 2024
“A disciplined recurring data tracker with strong callout writing and clean pillar structure, but undermined by topic-label titles and no closing synthesis — use it as an example of how to write quantified callouts, not as a Storymakers narrative exemplar.”
↓ Title 'Current Economic Situation' appears on 9 consecutive slides (p.35–46) with no country or finding to differentiate them — readers cannot scan the section
52
narrative
goldman sachs may 2021
“A competent IR/earnings presentation with above-average action titles, but structurally a topic dump rather than a Storymakers arc — useful as a teaching example for declarative titling, not for narrative design.”
↓ No Situation→Complication setup: jumps from sustainability theme (p.3-10) straight into Q1 results (p.11) with no bridging tension
52
narrative
apr12jlovelock 840572
“A data-rich Gartner webinar deck with strong metric-anchored titles in the middle but a missing thesis-up-front and no recommendation close — useful as a teaching example of quantitative chart titling, not as a Storymakers narrative arc.”
↓ No thesis up-front — the Russia-Ukraine cover (p.3) is not answered by an executive summary slide; the viewer waits until p.9 for framing
52
narrative
Infrastructure Barometer Italy
“A classically-structured EY barometer report with credible data and sharp callouts, but weak as a Storymakers exemplar: topic-label titles and a missing Resolution act turn a potentially confident point of view into a survey readout.”
↓ No recommendation or Resolution act — the deck ends at p.12 on a 'divided opinion' note followed by Contacts, violating the Storymakers answer-first principle
52
narrative
Deutsche Bank Q4 2023 Fixed Income Call
“Investor earnings disclosure — not a consulting deck — with strong action-title discipline in the main section but no SCQA arc and a collapsed close; use p.2-15 titles as a teaching example for declarative titling, not the overall structure.”
↓ No SCQA arc — there is no Complication slide framing rate risk, CRE exposure, or cost pressure as the tension the deck resolves
52
narrative
Deutsche Bank Q3 2024 Presentation
“A competent IR earnings deck with strong executive-summary title discipline but a reporting (not story) spine — use slides 2-6 and the segment block (p16-p20) as teaching examples for action-title openers and MECE decomposition, not the overall structure as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ Analytical slides default to topic-label titles (p8 'Key performance indicators', p10 'NII/NIM', p31 'NII sensitivity') instead of stating what the data shows
52
narrative
Digital Consumer Trends 2023
“A well-executed annual trends report with strong per-slide action titles but no story arc and no recommendation - use its title craft and callout discipline as a teaching example, not its structure.”
↓ No resolution act - deck ends on cost-of-living data (p.43) and a 'visit our hub' card (p.44), with zero recommendation or so-what
52
narrative
Deloitte 2019 Industry 4.0 Readiness Survey
“A tidy four-pillar benchmark excerpt with solid action titles in the middle but no thesis up front and no recommendation at the end — useful as a teaching example of parallel-pillar analytical slides, not as a full Storymakers arc.”
↓ No recommendation or «so what» slide — the deck ends on Methodology (p.8) with zero call to action
52
narrative
csg investor day 2016 sru
“A competent investor-day progress report with several strong metric-led titles, but weak as a Storymakers exemplar — it lacks SCQA setup and pillar structure, so use individual action titles (p4, p8, p11) as teaching examples rather than the deck's architecture.”
↓ No Situation/Complication setup — the deck never explicitly frames why the SRU story matters before diving into metrics
52
narrative
barclays global credit bureau forum v30
“Competent investor-day roadshow with strong slide-level quantified titles inside each segment, but no overarching narrative spine or closing synthesis — use the mid-section analytical build-ups (Ascend p.26, Verify p.29–30, Serasa p.50–60) as teaching examples of action titles, not the deck's overall structure.”
↓ No executive-summary or thesis slide in the first 5 pages — the deck leads with agenda/CFO Q&A instead of an answer-first insight
52
narrative
2024 usb barclays presentation conference deck
“A competent investor-conference positioning deck with solid per-slide craft but no story arc — useful as a reference for action titles and quantitative callouts on specific slides (pp. 6, 8, 9, 13, 18), not as a Storymakers structural exemplar.”
↓ No complication or thesis in the opening — pp. 3-7 establish scale but never frame a question the deck answers
52
narrative
Vaccines & Therapeutics Outlook Part I: Timelines and Success Factors
“A data-rich BCG Perspectives explainer with strong analytical titles but no Resolution act — use p.12–p.17 as a teaching example for declarative action titles, not the overall structure.”
↓ Two section dividers share an identical title (p.7 and p.20) even though the second section pivots to macro/retail/TSR data — breaks MECE and confuses the reader
