# Data Story Deck

- Product analytics
- Research summaries

## Workflow

3. Choose chart types and annotate takeaways.
4. Write titles as findings.
5. Document methodology and caveats.

## What you deliver

- Annotated chart slides
- Finding-first titles
- Methodology appendix

## Not for

## Quality bar

- State assumptions you made and ask before overwriting existing files.

- Follow `references/style-guide.md` for colour and type decisions.
- Finish with a short checklist of what the user should review or replace.
