narrative
Turkish NPL Purchasing Market Overview and the way forward
“A rigorous, scenario-driven Turkish NPL market study with strong forecast craftsmanship but weak Storymakers hygiene — use p.18-30 as a teaching example for forecast architecture, not for narrative or action-title discipline.”
↓ The promised 'way forward' is missing — no recommendation, no implication-for-AMCs slide, and the deck ends in policy recap + abbreviations + contact rather than a close

narrative
Prefabricated housing market in Central and Northern Europe – Overview of market trends and development
“A competent descriptive market study with mostly declarative action titles and clean pillars, but it stops at analysis and ends in firm self-promo — useful as a teaching example for action titles and callouts, not for full Storymakers narrative arc.”
↓ No resolution act: the deck ends on firm self-promotion (p.46-47) and appendix (p.48-52) — there is no 'implications', 'recommendation', or 'next steps' slide
58
narrative
Decarbonization in ports and shipping
“A competent thought-leadership / business-development deck with strong action titles and a clean macro-to-micro context build, but it stops short of a recommendation and pivots to firm credentials — useful as a teaching example for action-titling and SCQA setup, not for closing the loop.”
↓ Self-promotion crowds the narrative: p.2, p.3 and p.11 are credentials/RB-targets slides in a 12-page deck — 25% of the real estate is about the firm, not the client problem

narrative
rmb morgan stanley conference quilter september 2019
“Competent investor-conference update with a clean three-pillar spine but missing the Complication and a real close — useful as an example of pillar structure and callout discipline, not as a Storymakers narrative exemplar.”
↓ No Complication: the deck never names the problem the strategy is solving, so 'Business initiatives' (p10-14) feel like activities rather than answers

narrative
ey q2 2020 global ipo trends report v1
“A competent quarterly market-trends report with strong regional analysis but no resolution act — useful as a teaching example for action-titled data slides (p.6, p.13, p.15) and MECE-by-geography coverage, not as a Storymakers exemplar of arc or close.”
↓ No resolution act — the deck ends at p.25 with a soft EY house-ad and tips into a six-page appendix without a 'so what / do this next' slide
58
narrative
article thebeatmar2025
“A monthly market chartbook with a strong answer-first opening and ~15 well-titled thesis slides, but the back half is an unstructured data reference with no closing recommendation — use slides 3-17 as a Storymakers exemplar for action titles, not the deck as a whole.”
↓ No resolution act — deck ends on a correlation table (p.51) and team bio (p.54), never restating or evolving the Top 4 Ideas from p.4

narrative
20231114 MorganStanley APAC Summit Presentation slides
“Competent corporate-update deck with strong quantified callouts in its quarterly section but no SCQA spine and a buried thesis — useful as an example of metric-led titles, not as a Storymakers narrative exemplar.”
↓ No SCQA setup — the deck never poses the strategic question it is answering, so the audience must infer the 'so what'
58
narrative
2023 MS Conference Presentation
“A solid lead-with-the-answer investor deck for the first 11 slides that then dissolves into a 19-slide reference appendix — useful as a teaching example for thesis-first openings and peer-benchmark titling, not for narrative arc or closing.”
↓ 60% of the deck (p.12-30) is appendix; the narrative effectively ends at p.11 with no recommendation or call-to-action slide
58
narrative
What’s the future of generative AI? An early view in 15 charts
“A polished McKinsey explainer with strong action titles and a clear opening, but structured as a chart roundup rather than an SCQA argument — useful as a teaching example for title craft and lead-with-the-answer, not for narrative arc or closing.”
↓ No resolution act — the deck ends on p.16-17 macro sizing and a logo page (p.18), with no recommendation or 'what to do Monday' slide
58
narrative
The Inflation Reduction Act: Here’s what’s in it
“A competent McKinsey policy explainer with disciplined money-throughline and several strong quantified titles, but it is structurally an analytical primer — not a Storymakers exemplar — because it never names a Complication or lands a Resolution.”
↓ No closing recommendation or 'implications for executives' slide — deck ends on p.11 fiscal chart then jumps straight to author bios (p.12)
58
narrative
Emerging GenAI Use Cases Credit
“A competent McKinsey survey readout with strong action titles and a sharp opening tension, but it inverts its own ending and lacks visible MECE structure — use it as an exemplar for action-title writing, not for narrative arc.”
↓ Closes on pain-points (pp.16-17) instead of recommendation — the 'what leaders do' slide (p.15) is mis-sequenced
58
narrative
A pivot for Germany
“A competent survey-results readout with strong title hygiene but no narrative arc — useful as an exemplar of action-titled findings slides, not as a Storymakers structural model.”
↓ No complication/tension act — the deck jumps from 'Germany is optimistic' to recommendations without surfacing the threat the pivot answers
58
narrative
Impact of the US BIOSECURE Act on Biopharmas, Contract Services and Investors
“A competent, quant-anchored survey readout with strong declarative titles in the middle, but it sells its own findings short by ending in a capabilities pitch instead of a recommendation - use slides 7-8 as examples of insight-bearing titles, not the overall structure as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ No Resolution act: the deck ends on a capabilities slide (p.11) and a sales CTA (p.12) instead of a recommendation for biopharmas, CxOs or investors
58
narrative
GCC 2022 Hospital Priorities: Strategic Implications for Healthcare Providers
“A competent survey-findings readout with quantified action titles and a coherent three-pillar agenda, but it stops at analysis and never delivers the 'strategic implications' its own title promises — useful as an example of metric-led titling, not as a Storymakers exemplar of a complete S→C→A→R arc.”
↓ No recommendation or 'implications for providers' slide despite the deck title — closing on p.16 pain-points and p.17 'Connect with us' wastes the analytical setup
58
narrative
APAC Hospital Insights 2023
“A competent research-findings deck with strong action titles and clean three-pillar MECE structure, but it ends in firm marketing instead of a recommendation — use sections 2-4 as a teaching example for action titles and pyramid sequencing, not as a Storymakers narrative arc.”
↓ No 'So what?' resolution slide — the deck ends at p.27 (last agenda divider) and jumps straight to firm credentials on p.28-30; no synthesis of implications for healthcare providers, MedTech, or pharma
58
narrative
cb q1 2024 ie outlook report
“A competent JPM market-outlook brief with strong individual action titles but no narrative resolution — use slides 4, 6, 8 as title-writing exemplars, not the overall structure.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so-what' slide — the deck ends on p.14 with an unresolved question and then a disclaimer
58
narrative
QDEL JPM 2024 Presentation vfinal 010824 9 am PT
“Competent JPM-conference investor deck with a clean three-pillar build and a bookended 'Focused Path' recap, but it skips the Complication, leans on topic-label titles in key slots, and trails off into 'Thank you' — useful as a title-craft example for the Savanna and synergy slides, not as an overall narrative arc exemplar.”
↓ No Complication act: the deck never names a problem, market threat, or competitive tension, so SCQA collapses to S→A→R.
58
narrative
JPM Corp Fin Advisory Corporate Compass Jan 2024
“A high-quality analytical primer with strong action titles and dense data, but it stops at insight and never crosses into recommendation — use the body slides (p.6-10) as a teaching example for declarative titles, not the overall structure as a Storymakers arc.”
↓ No recommendation or next-steps slide — p.14 closes on observation ('primed for action') instead of prescribing CFO actions
58
narrative
2019 cb investor day ba56d0e8
“A polished investor-day capabilities deck with strong quantitative titles but no real tension or resolution — useful as a teaching example for action-title discipline, not for SCQA arc construction.”
↓ No complication/tension act — the deck never names a problem, competitor threat, or 'so what changes' moment
58
narrative
Introduction to Ipsos
“A competent corporate-intro deck with declarative titles and hard numbers, but structurally a topic tour without SCQA tension or a closing ask — use slides 5, 8, and 14 as title-craft examples, not the overall arc.”
↓ Slides 10 and 11 carry near-duplicate titles ('OUR STRATEGY BEING AT THE HEART OF SCIENCE AND DATA' / 'OUR STRATEGY BEING THE HEART OF SCIENCE AND DATA') — wasted real estate and a signal of weak editing
58
narrative
IBV The Cognitive Enterprise
“A competent IBM thought-leadership brief with the right ingredients (client cases, a stake stat, next steps) but undermined by repeated topic-label titles and an invisible pillar structure — useful as a teaching example of why action-titling and section dividers matter, not as a Storymakers exemplar.”
↓ Six slides reuse the identical title 'The Cognitive Enterprise: The finance opportunity' (p.4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18), erasing any sense of forward motion
58
narrative
goldman sachs dec 2023 final 12 5 23
“A competent investor-conference update with a strong closing thesis and solid peer-benchmark titles, but the front half buries the answer and the growth pillars aren't MECE-framed — use p.5-7 and p.12 as title-quality exemplars, not the overall structure.”
↓ Opening three content slides (p.3 'Overview', p.4 'financial performance detail') bury the lede — no thesis until p.13
58
narrative
Newmark May 2023 FI Conference Presentation Vf Final
“A competent fixed-income IR deck with several exemplary action titles in its middle third, but structurally it is a data walk rather than a Storymakers story — use slides 11, 14, 16, and 19 as teaching examples for declarative titles, not the deck's overall arc.”
↓ No SCQA opening — slides 1–5 are pure front matter; the investable thesis ('when markets normalize we exceed peak revenues') is hidden on p.13 rather than stated on p.3 or p.4
58
narrative
Deutsche Bank Q3 2023 Fixed Income Call
“A competent IR disclosure deck with above-average action titles in the first 14 slides, but it lacks SCQA tension, has no real closing ask, and is dominated by a topic-labelled appendix — useful as a reference for declarative titling, not as a Storymakers structural exemplar.”
↓ No complication/tension act — the deck never names what's hard (rates, CRE, TLTRO repayments), so analytical slides like p.25–27 read as disclosure, not narrative payoff
