The main question here is: How are two different places tackling a problem and what are the associated results? For comparison, the two communities, the drivers of the problem and the context need to be similar enough to be relevant for the specific audience. In this story type, the big ideas or insights are in focus - as opposed to a singular leader or specific mechanism, since it is what's most portable across geography.
