This is sample text showing how a deep dive is structured. A deep dive is long-form, research-driven reporting, organised into chapters that can each be read on their own. It opens with a scene or a question, not a summary.

Chapter 3
Who pays
Sample chapter text. Chapter 3 develops one part of the argument, with its own evidence, and ends by handing the reader to the next question.
