I don't yet know which research or main problem you're referring to. Could you tell me the topic and share any notes or sources you’ve already gathered? That will let me give facts tailored to your opening statement.
Meanwhile, here are examples (each set gives at least two facts you could use) to show the kind of items that are most useful in an opening statement:
1) If your main problem is a legal dispute (e.g., breach of contract):
- Fact 1: The contract was signed on [date] by both parties and included an explicit delivery deadline of [date].
- Fact 2: Party B missed the delivery deadline and sent no corrective plan within the contract’s cure period.
(Use these to establish the timeline and breach.)
2) If your main problem is a public-policy issue (e.g., local housing shortage):
- Fact 1: Vacancy rates in the city dropped from X% to Y% over the last Z years, while median rents rose by A%.
- Fact 2: Current zoning rules restrict new multifamily construction in B% of the city’s land area.
(Use these to show scope of the problem and a policy constraint.)
3) If your main problem is a scientific/technical question (e.g., effectiveness of an intervention):
- Fact 1: Recent studies show the intervention reduces outcome incidence by X% compared with control (cite study/year).
- Fact 2: Existing literature lacks randomized trials in population Y, creating an evidence gap your work addresses.
(Use these to state what’s known and what gap your study fills.)
If you share your specific topic and research notes, I’ll list at least two precise, relevant facts you can use in your opening statement.
