PAS

(Problem, Agitation, Solution)

Borrowed from marketing, PAS helps you clearly show a business problem, highlight why it's a pain, and then present your fix.

How to implement

Problem
Clearly state the specific business problem, challenge, or pain point your presentation is addressing.

Agitation
Emphasize the negative consequences, costs, inefficiencies, or risks associated with the problem. Highlight why this problem is significant and needs to be addressed.

Solution
Present your proposed solution, strategy, or recommendation to solve the identified problem and alleviate the agitated pain points.
