  "description": "A tight comparison arc that shows the move from an inferior state to a superior one, anchored by contrast. Make the painful before state vivid, reveal the product, decision, or event that changes the trajectory, present the new reality in concrete terms, then prove it with data or testimonial. The tone is contrastive: it makes the gap between old and new viscerally clear. Best for product demos, case study summaries, ROI presentations, and before-and-after technology comparisons; typical decks run 4-6 slides.",
