Consulting Writing Craft

Applies McKinsey SCR, Minto/MECE and BCG bold-bullet techniques to write and review executive summaries and roll-up overviews.

Content & WritingIntermediate14224AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 13, 2026

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

  1. "Rewrite this report intro using SCR" → a clearly separated Situation / Complication / Resolution opening.
  2. "Convert this summary into bold-bullets" → bold conclusion plus two or three grounds bullets.
  3. "Review whether my competitive landscape outline is MECE" → flags overlaps and gaps, proposes a residual axis.
