In fact-based category storytelling, the “What” section establishes the business situation, opportunity, issue, or insight supported by relevant data. It is not the place to dump every chart or every possible observation. CMKG explains that fact-based presentations should focus on growth opportunities for the retailer and translate those opportunities into strategies tied to action. It also states that fact-based presentations should use relevant facts that support the presentation purpose, and irrelevant facts or insights should not be included.
Option A is wrong because detailed appendices may support the story, but they are not the primary focus of the “What” section. Option C is wrong because exploratory analysis happens before the story is built; the story presents the selected insight, not every possible analysis path. Option D is exactly the bad practice CMKG warns against: data that distracts from key ideas and opportunities weakens the presentation.
