e-Conomy SEA 2023 report: Vietnam
“A descriptive country-brief excerpt with strong action titles but no resolution act — useful as a teaching example for insight-bearing titles and market-sizing pacing, not for full Storymakers arc structure.”
↓ No recommendation or CTA — the deck ends on a funding data point (p.7) rather than an implication or next move

Engaging Your Organization to Deliver Results
“A competent thought-leadership talk with strong declarative titles and well-placed stats, but it lacks section dividers and a prescriptive close — use its action titles and stat-anchored slides as teaching examples, not its overall skeleton.”
↓ No section dividers across 17 pages — the MECE pillars of the engagement model are implicit and the reader has to reconstruct the structure

EY Work Reimagined 2022 Survey
“A competently sequenced survey-findings deck with strong analytical action titles but a weak recommendation and synthesis - use the middle (p.5-p.10) as a teaching example of title-writing, not the opening or close.”
↓ Recommendation slide p.11 is phrased as a question instead of a declarative ask, diluting the punch of the deck's 'so what'

Japan Hospital Insights Survey Findings Summary materials
“A disciplined survey-findings report with strong declarative action titles and clean MECE pillar dividers, but it buries the thesis behind methodology and ends as a sales pitch — borrow its titling and section-divider discipline, not its overall structure.”
↓ Opening burns 6 pages on methodology before a single finding (pp 1–6); the thesis is never stated up front

Mergers and Acquisitions in LatAm: Evolution and prospects
“A well-sourced LatAm M&A market scan with strong action titles and credible data, but it reads as an analytical report rather than a Storymakers deck — use it as an example of declarative titling and country deep-dive structure, not as a model for narrative arc or closing.”
↓ No closing recommendation, outlook, or 'so what' slide — deck terminates on Peru analysis (p.30) then bio + disclaimer

What is and how to navigate the RAS opportunity in LatAm?
“A competent thought-leadership primer with strong market-sizing titles but a missing recommendation act — useful as a teaching example for quantified action titles and macro-to-micro flow, not for SCQA resolution.”
↓ No explicit recommendation slide — p.13 names barriers and p.14 says OEMs 'need to consider specific market dynamics' without revealing what they are or what to do

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

title quality
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

title quality
Mining Investment Fragile Conflict
“Compact 8-page executive brief with a coherent S→C→A→R spine and strong numeric titles, but it asks questions instead of leading with the answer and ends on a metaphor rather than a decision — useful as a short-form arc example, not as an opening or closing exemplar.”
↓ P.2 'Central questions' delays the thesis — opening should lead with the answer, not the questions

Forsyningssektorens Effektiviseringspotentiale
“Textbook McKinsey answer-first diagnostic with a strong front-loaded thesis and clean MECE sector build — use the opening (pp.6-10) and the per-sector template (pp.38-48) as Storymakers exemplars, but do not copy its closing, which buries the recommendation under 70 pages of appendix.”
↓ Closing collapses into appendix: pp.164-234 are methodology, statistical tests and the kommissorium, with no recommendation/roadmap slide before the appendix split

Outperformers High-Growth Emerging Economies
“A solid MGI-style analytical build with strong action titles and quantified callouts, but it leads with description instead of stakes and ends on a URL — use the title-writing and case-study integration as a teaching example, not the overall arc.”
↓ No explicit complication/tension act — the deck moves from 'here is a fact' to 'here is the framework' without a 'why this matters now' beat

Global Hydrogen Flows
“A well-structured McKinsey analytical report with quantified action titles and a clean section spine, but it buries the recommendation behind framing language and trails into appendix — use the analytical middle (p.10-25) as a Storymakers exemplar, not the closing.”
↓ No explicit recommendation or call-to-action slide near the close — p.34-36 settle for framing ('regions have key roles', LNG parallels) instead of 'do these three things'

10th Operations Efficiency Radar
“A competent annual-survey report with a clear A→B→C→D skeleton and quantified titles, but the seven-industry template repetition and 22-slide appendix tail make it a Storymakers exemplar for action-titled data slides — not for narrative compression.”
↓ Industry walk-through (p.25–45) is formulaic: each of seven industries gets the same quote→value-chain→reposition triplet, and the same canned callout 'If corporate functions spot the opportunities…' is recycled verbatim on p.27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45

Automated Trucks The next big disruptor in the automotive industry?
“Solid analytical Roland Berger short-version with strong quantified action titles in the economics section, but it withholds the thesis up front and dribbles out the recommendation — use p.11-15 as a teaching example for action titles, not the overall arc.”
↓ No leading 'answer slide' — the core recommendation is never stated in the first 3 pages; p.2 'THE BIG 3' withholds rather than reveals

Megatrend 2 Health & Care
“A well-titled, evidence-rich trend compendium with a clean SCQA setup and a real recommendation close — useful as a teaching example for action titles and quantitative callouts, but its 40-slide undivided analytical middle makes it a weak structural exemplar of MECE pillar architecture.”
↓ 40+ consecutive analyze_data / industry_trends slides (pp.12-54) with no breather, summary, or pillar divider — reads as a topic dump rather than a story

The overall positive sentiment was also reflected in the supplier valuation levels that still trade above their long-ter
“Strong analytical build-up and disciplined 5-pillar challenge section, but the recommendation is buried until p60 and the deck tapers into a contact slide — use sections 1 and 3 as Storymakers exemplars, not the overall arc.”
↓ Buries the recommendation — 'answer-first' is violated at deck level: the 8-element transformation framework only appears at p60/86 and the executive summary on p3-4 doesn't preview it

What if inflation rates remain at current levels? Roland Berger Institute
“A well-titled, coherent thought-leadership paper with a clear point of view at the end, but it reads as an analyst's essay rather than a Storymakers deck — use pp.2-6 as a teaching example for action titles, not as a structural template.”
↓ No 'so what' for a business audience — the deck diagnoses inflation but never translates implications into client actions

Trend Compendium 2050 Full Version
“A high-quality thought-leadership compendium with strong quantified titles but no SCQA spine — useful as an exemplar of action-title craft, not of executive narrative.”
↓ No SCQA opening: p.1-5 establish topic and scope but never state a thesis or stakes the executive must care about

title quality
Global Automotive Study 2023
“A well-titled, evidence-rich research-report deck whose per-slide craft is exemplary but whose overall arc is a parallel-themed survey rather than a Storymakers SCQA build — use the action titles and per-section 'How to act?' pattern as teaching examples, not the opening or closing.”
↓ Opening buries the lede — pages 1-5 are admin/methodology before the first insight on p.6

South Africa Economic Outlook 2024 Turning short-term crises into opportunities for business value creation and societal
“Solid thematic-essay deck with disciplined action titles but no closing synthesis — useful as a teaching example for sentence-style titles, not for end-to-end narrative architecture.”
↓ No closing synthesis or explicit call-to-action — p.10 is a contacts page, not a 'so what' slide
78
title quality
Introduction to a dynamic market with numerous investment opportunities
“Competent banker primer with strong analytical action titles but a missing thesis up front and a marketing soft-close — useful as a teaching example for action-title craft on analytical pages, not for opening or closing structure.”
↓ Slide 3 'Executive Summary' is a label, not a synthesis — the deck never delivers a one-line thesis up front

title quality
Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study, Spring 2019
“A solid analytical market-update deck with above-average action titles and a real attempt at tension on p.9-10, but it has no recommendation act and ends in administrative pages — useful as an example of strong title craft, not as a Storymakers structural exemplar.”
↓ No recommendation or 'so-what' slide — the deck ends with team bios, contacts, methodology and a logo (p.11-15)

The Combustion Engine Business Model in the Age of Electromobility
“Solid analytical BCG-style build with strong action titles in the body, but it leads with topic-label summary slides and lacks a closing recommendation; use the scenario->strategy->archetype->value-matrix structure as a teaching example, not the executive bookends.”
↓ No closing recommendation or next-steps slide; deck terminates on archetype analysis (p.13) and falls straight into front matter (p.14-16)

The future trends in ASEAN steel market
“A solid analytical consulting deck with strong action titles and a clean three-pillar recommendation, but it buries the lead and fades into a generic close — useful as an exemplar for action-title writing and MECE pillars, not for opening or closing craft.”
↓ Buried lead — thesis arrives on p.5 after a credentials slide (p.2) and a topic-label slide (p.3 'Key trends in...')
