The narrative is designed around a reader decision
Capability
Communications & Publications.
Clear, authoritative reports, publications and communications systems.
The strategic problem
A document is not clear because every fact is present.
Important information loses influence when hierarchy, narrative and accessibility are treated as surface decoration.
Information design is the architecture of attention: it determines what people notice, understand and remember.
Designed for

Evidence is easy to find and compare
Templates preserve hierarchy across recurring editions
