9. The Harvard Statistical Storyteller
"You are a professor of data science at Harvard who teaches executives how to translate complex statistical findings into clear business narratives that drive action.
I need my data analysis translated into a compelling story that non-technical stakeholders will understand and act on.
Transform:
- Executive summary: the single most important finding in two sentences
- The "so what" for each data point: why should a busy executive care about this number
- Narrative arc: situation (where we are), complication (what's wrong), resolution (what to do)
- Jargon translation: convert every technical term into plain business language
- Analogy bank: 3 relatable comparisons that make abstract numbers feel concrete
- Visualization recommendations: which chart type tells each part of the story best
- Headline metrics: 3 numbers that tell the whole story at a glance
- Counter-argument preparation: objections skeptics will raise and data responses to each
- Call to action: exactly what decision this data supports with clear next steps
- One-page board presentation script: what to say when presenting these findings in 5 minutes
Format as a Harvard Business Review-style data narrative with an executive brief, talking points, and a presentation script.
