What Worries the World
“A competent recurring data tracker with strong callouts but topic-label titles and no resolution act — useful as a counter-example of how even good underlying insights get neutered by non-action titles, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ Twelve consecutive slides titled 'Current Economic Situation' (p.35–46) — zero differentiation, reader cannot navigate or remember anything

narrative
The Swiss FoodTech Ecosystem 2021
“A well-researched ecosystem atlas masquerading as a deck — useful as a reference document but a weak Storymakers exemplar because it lacks thesis, tension, and recommendation; teach it as a cautionary case for landscape reports that forget to make an argument.”
↓ No recommendation or call to action anywhere — the deck is a landscape map with no 'so what.'

narrative
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

narrative
IPSOS GLOBAL TRUSTWORTHINESS INDEX 2023
“A well-templated annual reference report from a research firm - useful as a navigable data catalogue but a poor Storymakers exemplar: use it only as a counter-example of topic-label titles and missing SCQA arc.”
↓ Zero action titles in 35 slides - every per-profession page (pp.15-32) is templated as 'Trust in X by country', burying the finding
45
narrative
IPSOS GLOBAL HEALTH SERVICE MONITOR 2023
“A competently structured survey-monitor report — useful as a reference document but a weak Storymakers exemplar because it labels topics instead of arguing a thesis and ends in an appendix rather than a recommendation.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so what' slide anywhere — deck ends on a methodology page (p.44) and a brand slide (p.45)
45
narrative
Global Top 100 companies 2023
“A competent annual benchmarking publication with strong analytical action titles in the middle, but it is a data report — not a Storymakers narrative — because it has no complication, no recommendation, and dissolves into ranking tables; use slides 5-8 as title-craft exemplars, not the deck as a whole.”
↓ No Complication or Resolution act — the deck never asks 'so what should leaders do?' and ends in ranking tables (p.17-21)
45
narrative
Global IPO Watch 2021 A PwC Global IPO Centre publication
“A well-structured market-data report with MECE geographic coverage, but as a Storymakers exemplar it shows what NOT to do — topic-label titles, no Complication/Resolution arc, and a deck that ends in tables; use only the callout sentences as a teaching example of insight-bearing language.”
↓ Titles are nouns, not insights — 'Overview of IPO and FO activity in the Americas' (p.12-13) is repeated verbatim with no differentiation
45
narrative
GEM Outlook 2021-2025 Hong Kong
“A competent PwC market-outlook research deck with disciplined action titles but no recommendation arc - useful as a Storymakers exemplar for slide-level title craft and benchmark framing, not for opening hook, Act-3 payoff, or closing call-to-action.”
↓ No recommendation/CTA slide: deck ends p.31 -> appendix -> 'Thank you.' (p.34) with zero implications for an HK operator or advertiser
45
narrative
Boardroom Agenda 2022
“A competently sectioned PwC event briefing — usable as a teaching example for four-pillar boardroom architecture and quote-led tension framing, but a weak Storymakers exemplar overall because it has no deck-level thesis, a placeholder-style opening, fragmented closes, and predominantly topic-label titles.”
↓ No deck-level thesis: opening (p.1-5) skips straight from 'Welcome' to agenda with zero stakes, and there is no closing slide that synthesizes across the four pillars
45
narrative
ey praesentation startup barometer 2025 englisch
“A disciplined EY research barometer with strong action-title hygiene but no narrative arc and no resolution — use slides 4, 8, and 11 as exemplars of headline-number titles, but not the deck structure as a Storymakers model.”
↓ No SCQA setup: the deck never frames why 2024 matters, what changed for German startups, or what question the data is answering
45
narrative
ey digital survey shaping the new normal
“A competent, well-titled regional-survey topic dump with strong action-title hygiene but no narrative arc and no recommendation — useful as a Storymakers exemplar of action-title discipline, not of story structure.”
↓ No closing synthesis or recommendation — deck ends on a data slide (p41) and a 'Contact us' (p42), with zero 'so what' for the reader
45
narrative
Tech highlights from 2022—in eight charts
“A competent year-end chart-roundup with strong per-slide data discipline but no narrative spine — useful as a teaching example for declarative chart titles (see p.4) but not for Storymakers structure.”
↓ No governing thesis: the cover (p.1) and opener (p.2) never state what the eight charts collectively argue about 2022 in tech
45
narrative
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
45
narrative
Global Economics Intelligence (August 2023)
“A competent recurring economics briefing with strong action-titled analytical slides but no narrative arc and no recommendation - useful as a teaching example for dense data-slide titling, not for Storymakers structure.”
↓ No closing recommendation, synthesis, or 'so what' - deck ends on a Brazil PMI chart (p.28) then a logo (p.29)
45
narrative
Global Assignment Policies and Practices Survey
“A competent KPMG survey readout with dense data and occasional action titles, but as a Storymakers exemplar it is a cautionary case of analytical-dump structure with a marketing-CTA close — useful to teach what to fix, not to imitate.”
↓ No SCQA arc — slides 6 onward are a sequential survey readout rather than a problem→analysis→answer narrative
45
narrative
2024 US CEO Outlook Pulse Survey
“A survey-results pulse report dressed as a deck — useful as a counter-example of topic-label titles and a missing resolution act, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ No resolution act — deck ends on an ESG data point (p.10) and a disclaimer (p.11) with zero recommendations, implications, or call to action
45
narrative
14th Five-Year Plan Sector Impact
“A competent policy explainer organized as a sector-by-sector inventory — useful as an example of action titles and callout discipline, but a weak Storymakers exemplar because it has no pillars, no synthesis, and no recommendation.”
↓ No recommendation, synthesis, or 'so-what' slide before the contact page (p.13 → p.14 contact)
45
narrative
mi gtia
“A well-organized JPMorgan reference guide with parallel country structure and solid data, but a textbook example of an analytical-dump deck with topic-label titles and no SCQA arc — useful as a counter-example for Storymakers training, not as an exemplar.”
↓ No thesis slide in the first 5 pages — the deck never tells the audience what to believe or do about Asia
45
narrative
what worries the world november 2024 ipsos
“A competent recurring data tracker with strong callouts but topic-label titles and no closing recommendation — useful as a teaching example of how callouts should be promoted to action titles, not as a Storymakers narrative exemplar.”
↓ Titles are nouns, not insights: 'Current Economic Situation' is reused on 12 consecutive slides (p.35-46) with no differentiation
45
narrative
ipsos pride report 2025
“Syndicated research report with a strong 5-slide editorial summary bolted onto a 35-slide data appendix; use slides 5-9 as a Storymakers exemplar for translating data into narrative, but the overall structure is a topic dump, not a story.”
↓ Title duplication: 'LGBT Attitudes by Country' appears on at least 5 slides (11, 13, 15, 17, 23) with no insight extracted on the page itself
45
narrative
Ipsos global trustworthiness index 2023
“A well-structured data reference report but a weak Storymakers exemplar — use pp.4/10/14 as an example of clean sectioning, but not as a model for narrative, titling, or close.”
↓ No thesis slide — pp.1-4 are cover/TOC/intro/divider with zero insight asserted before data begins on p.5
45
narrative
Ipsos Global Health Service Monitor 2023 WEB
“A well-organized survey data report, not a Storymakers deck — use the section scaffolding and THE HEADLINES pattern as a navigational example, but it is an anti-example of action titling and has no closing argument.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so-what' act: the deck ends in appendix + methodology + corporate slide (p.30–p.45) with zero synthesis
45
narrative
Ipsos Global AI 2023 Report NZ Release 19.07.2023
“A competently structured survey-results report with strong navigation but no narrative — useful as a counter-example of topic-label titling and missing resolution, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ Action titles are pure topic labels repeated across multiple slides (e.g., 'Feelings about AI' on p.10/11/12/13) — zero insight conveyed by the title alone
45
narrative
Ipsos Equalities Index 2023 Full report
“A well-instrumented opinion-research data book with a strong 20-page narrative front and a 50-page reference back, but it is not a Storymakers exemplar — use pp.1–20 to teach answer-first openings and quotable callouts, and use the appendix as a cautionary example of topic-label titling.”
↓ Action titles are survey-question labels, not insights — the same question text is reused on 20+ appendix slides (pp.30–51)
