Setup: Context and baseline
Conflict: The problem or opportunity
Resolution: Insights and recommendations

```
1. Hook: Grab attention with surprising insight
2. Context: Establish the baseline
3. Rising Action: Build through data points
4. Climax: The key insight
5. Resolution: Recommendations
6. Call to Action: Next steps
```
