The lesson
Put a 60-second bullet list of the headline stats near the top of a survey report, then dig into them in the sections below.
Below "The new economics of starting up in 2026", a methodology note gives the survey details. "2026 startup economics in 60 seconds" lists eight stats, from "95% have deployed AI agents" to "12% reduced staff due to higher operating costs". Later sections add large single numbers like 91% and 80%, charts and tables.
Don't borrow these figures, and don't publish a survey without stating your method as this one does. Keep the early summary list, the methodology note near the top and the oversized stat.
