[00:00:00] Speaker 1: The goal is to close that gap, and one way to do that is by making research reports easier to understand, more engaging, and more actionable. One method we teach at Research Rockstar for accomplishing this is visual storytelling. Visual storytelling is not about fancy charts and diagrams. It's about combining a strong narrative, supported by proof points for credibility, with visuals that help readers follow the logic and feel inspired. The visuals become communication tools, not graphic design exercises.
