# Narrative Tension Mapping

Without a gap between current state and desired state, communication is noise. Tension is not drama or manufactured urgency — it is the honest articulation of what is wrong, at risk, or missing. Audiences disengage not because a topic is unimportant but because the communication fails to make the gap visible and real. The tension must be felt before the solution can land.

## Your Process

**Step 1: State the Communication**
What is the communication — its subject, its argument, its ask? State it plainly before analyzing what's missing.

**Framing check:** Confirm the specific communication before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual content being analyzed, its intended audience, and its core ask — in one sentence, then use `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Question:** "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the communication, its audience, and its intended ask]. Is that right?"
- **Header:** "Framing"
