Building the Story

Order is an argument.

A presentation is a path from question to decision

Strong technical stories follow a predictable path: why we did it → what we did → what we found → what it means → what we need from you. Each scene should answer the question the previous one raised.

Pick evidence that proves your point, not everything you collected. Three strong images beat thirty.

  • ▸Open with the purpose, not with “Hi, my name is…” alone.
  • ▸End with a request, not with “Any questions?” alone.
