## Duarte Sparkline Pattern
|
|
|
|
Alternate between "What Is" (current pain) and "What Could Be" (better future):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
What Is → What Could Be → What Is → What Could Be → New Bliss
|
|
(pain) (hope) (pain) (hope) (resolution)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pattern breaks at 1/3 and 2/3 positions create engagement peaks.
