GenAI retail commercial banking
“A competent survey-findings deck with strong declarative action titles in its analytical middle, but it reads as a research dump rather than an argument — use pp.8-18 as a teaching example for metric-anchored titles, not the overall structure.”
↓ No recommendation or 'what to do about it' slide — the deck ends at p.22 with a use-case list and never resolves the S→C→A→R arc

title quality
GenAI wealth asset management
“A competent survey-highlights report with strong per-slide action titles and a coherent analytical middle, but it's not a Storymakers exemplar — use pp.7–19 to teach stat-led action titles, not the overall structure, which lacks a complication, named pillars, and a closing recommendation.”
↓ Five separate 'Contents' slides (p.2, p.4, p.6, p.20, p.23) with no pillar labels act as filler dividers rather than MECE signposts

title quality
Navigating Disruption Financial Services
“A well-researched case-study compendium with disciplined 'from X to Y' action titles, but it opens with methodology and closes without a recommendation — use the case-study slides as a title-writing exemplar, not the overall arc.”
↓ No synthesis slide — after 8 cases (p.9-16) there is no cross-case pattern, scorecard, or 'what this means for incumbents'
72
title quality
GenAI Survey 2024
“A competent survey-findings deck with above-average action titles but no narrative resolution — useful as a teaching example for headline-writing on data slides, not for end-to-end Storymakers structure.”
↓ No Resolution act — deck ends on a regulation stat (p.12) with zero «recommended actions» or «what to do Monday morning» slide

title quality
A future that works: AI, Automation, employment, and productivity
“A keynote-style thought-leadership deck with strong analytical chapter (p.13-18) but a missing Resolution act — use the middle as a Storymakers exemplar of action-titled analysis, not as a model for narrative close.”
↓ No recommendation or call-to-action slide — closing slide p.22 'some real challenges to address' re-states the problem instead of resolving it
72
title quality
Brazil Digital Report
“A solid analytical landscape report with disciplined section structure and several strong declarative titles, but it reads as a research summary rather than a Storymakers deck — use the talent section's titling as a teaching example, not the overall arc.”
↓ No explicit recommendation or call-to-action — the deck ends on 'In summary:' (p.42) and a thank-you (p.43), violating the SCQA 'Resolution' act
72
title quality
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

title quality
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)
72
title quality
Affordable Housing Challenge Blueprint
“A well-framed analytical deck with a clean MECE spine and quantified body slides, but it ends with a 'Thank you' instead of a recommendation and trails into a disorganized appendix — use the opening and four-lever build-up as a Storymakers exemplar, not the close.”
↓ Closing collapse: 'Thank you!' on p.35 is followed by 14 pages of appendix-style content (p.36-49) with no synthesis or call to action
72
title quality
Future Energy Landscape Netherlands
“A data-rich McKinsey market-outlook deck with strong quantified titles in the Netherlands section but a missing thesis up front, duplicate section dividers, and a non-committal close — useful as a teaching example for action-title craft and cost-curve evidence stacking, not for full SCQA structure.”
↓ Two section dividers (p.23 and p.28) carry identical text and neither names the trend it introduces — pillars are invisible to the reader
72
title quality
European Banking Summit 2018
“A well-titled benchmarking spine that diagnoses Europe's capital-markets gap clearly but stops before answering 'so what' — useful as a Storymakers exemplar of declarative chart titles, not of full SCQA arc construction.”
↓ No Resolution act — the deck ends on a precedent tease (p.9) and a contact slide (p.10) instead of a recommendation
72
title quality
Vitamins & Dietary Supplements Market trends – Overview
“A competent PwC market-overview deck with strong declarative titles on data slides, but it is a report not a story — use slides 8-13 as a teaching example for action-title craft, not the overall structure.”
↓ No recommendation, 'so what,' or call-to-action slide — the deck stops at the last regional forecast (p.22) and jumps straight to Contacts (p.23)
72
title quality
Indonesia Sustainable Transformation
“A competently structured ESG landscape report with strong action titles and a clean three-pillar MECE spine, but it reads as analysis-without-resolution and is best used as a teaching example for pillar architecture and title craft, not for SCQA closure.”
↓ No resolution act — deck ends on a case study + quote + disclaimer (p.29-31) with no recommendation or call to action
72
title quality
Automotive metal components for car bodies and chassis
“Competent Roland Berger market-study deck with clean MECE pillars and disciplined action titles in the analytical body - useful as a teaching example of trend-driven sizing, but weak as a Storymakers exemplar because it labels its executive summary, buries its punchline, and closes with firm marketing instead of a recommendation.”
↓ The most important number in the deck (EUR 15 bn hot-stamping by 2025) is buried in p.34's callout under a label title 'Implications and key takeaways' - should be the title

title quality
Growth remains strong for market expansion services in Asia
“A competent parallel-pillar market-sizing brief with strong action titles but no SCQA arc and no recommendation — useful as a teaching example for declarative titling and MECE industry structure, not for narrative storytelling.”
↓ No 'so what' / recommendation slide — the deck stops at p.11 and dumps into Methodology/Disclaimer with zero synthesis
72
title quality
Megatrend 5 – Technology & Innovation
“A disciplined, evidence-rich trend compendium with strong action titles and a rare explicit recommend block, but structurally a flat technology inventory rather than a tensioned narrative — use it as a teaching example for action-title craft and quantitative anchoring, not for story architecture.”
↓ Opening (p.1-5) is corporate-publication boilerplate — series framing, agenda, definition — with no hook, no stakes, no thesis statement; the reader has waited five pages before any argument lands
72
title quality
Roland Berger Construction Radar – Impacts on DACH region
“Tight, answer-first scenario-planning deck with strong analytical spine but a thin recommendation tail — use p.2 and p.5-9 as Storymakers exemplars for executive summaries and quantified action titles, not for the closing arc.”
↓ Recommendation compressed into a single slide (p.11) with a generic callout — disproportionate to the 4-slide analytical build-up
72
title quality
Roland Berger views on H2 market development
“A competent Roland Berger market-sizing study with strong action titles and clean MECE structure, but it is a reference document not a Storymakers exemplar — use the title-writing on p.11–18 as a teaching example, not the overall arc.”
↓ No executive summary or BLUF — the EUR 10bn headline is buried on p.7 and never restated as a thesis
72
title quality
Sportech 2021 Paris, February 2022
“A competent analytical scan of French sportech with strong metric-laden titles and good callouts, but no thesis, no resolution, and overlapping pillars — useful as a teaching example for action-titled data slides, not for end-to-end Storymakers narrative.”
↓ No SCQA opening: pages 1-4 are cover/agenda/divider/context — the deck never states what question it answers or why the reader should care
72
title quality
Global Pricing Study 2011
“A short research-summary teaser with strong headline-title discipline on its analytical slides but no recommendation and a self-promotional close — useful as an exemplar of insight titles, not of full SCQA arc.”
↓ No closing recommendation or 'so what' — deck ends on p.9 with a firm-credentials slide ('No. 1 in marketing and sales in Germany')
72
title quality
Reshaping NYCHA support functions
“Textbook BCG analytical-build deck — MECE pillars, disciplined benchmarking and a hammered $70M number — but it buries the answer for 26 slides and fizzles into a victory-lap close, so use the chapter structure and exec-summary cadence as a teaching example, not the opening or closing.”
↓ Buried thesis: 26 slides before the $70M number lands — opening sells the mandate, not the answer
72
title quality
IPSOS SEA AHEAD SHIFTS & SENTIMENTS
“A solid sentiment-research dossier with several Storymakers-grade action titles in its first pillar, but it ends on a broken promise (empty NetZero roadmap → Q&A → tagline) and never synthesizes its three pillars into a recommendation — use pp.6-18 as a teaching example for action titles, not the deck as a structural model.”
↓ No closing recommendation — p.33 'ROADMAP TO NETZERO' divider is followed only by Q&A (p.34) and a brand tagline (p.35); the roadmap itself is missing
72
title quality
2023 HALF-YEAR RESULTS
“A competent half-year earnings deck with disciplined three-pillar structure and several genuinely insight-bearing action titles, but it lacks an upfront thesis and a memorable close — useful as a teaching example for action-title diagnosis (p.8–10), not for full SCQA arc.”
↓ No upfront executive summary or thesis slide — the reader must reach p.3 to learn the headline and never gets a single-page synthesis

title quality
PUBLIC TRUST IN AI: IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY AND REGULATION
“A competent five-act research report with a clear spine and several genuinely declarative slide titles, but the soft opening, noun-phrase dividers, and principle-level closing keep it from being a Storymakers exemplar — use the risks/benefits section (p.11–14) as the teaching example, not the overall structure.”
↓ Opening burns four slides on cover/intro/TOC/takeaways before any evidence (p.1–4); a Storymakers opener would collapse these and lead with the answer
