What it does
- SCR structure: builds the intro as Situation → Complication → Resolution (McKinsey style).
- So-what upfront: leads with the key implication instead of a descriptive preamble.
- Bold-bullet: turns metric runs into a bold key-claim line plus supporting bullets (BCG executive-summary standard).
- Numeric precision & density: replaces vague quantifiers with amounts, dates, percentages and proper nouns, while capping how many numbers get buried in one paragraph.
- MECE completeness: groups items under 2–4 top axes with no overlap and no gaps, routing leftovers into an explicit "other" axis.
Who it's for
- Strategy, consulting and analyst professionals writing decision-maker documents.
- Anyone producing roll-up or market-landscape overviews that must be exhaustive.
- Writers who want to practice conclusion-first, evidence-backed prose.
Examples
- "Rewrite this report intro using SCR" → a clearly separated Situation / Complication / Resolution opening.
- "Convert this summary into bold-bullets" → bold conclusion plus two or three grounds bullets.
- "Review whether my competitive landscape outline is MECE" → flags overlaps and gaps, proposes a residual axis.
