Structure that works

1. Result first — one line with a number (+38% conversion, 4.6★ rating).
2. Challenge — what was broken, in plain language.
3. Approach — what you did, without a design-jargon dump.
4. Outcome — close the loop with the same metric.

Screenshots of wireframes nobody asked for. Tools lists. "I used Figma and Miro." They assume you can open Figma.

Show judgment. Show taste. Show impact.
