Doing a solutions story about a one-off problem is tough because there's not much to build on. Solutions journalism thrives on showing how responses can be replicated or scaled, but with a one-off issue, you don't have that broader applicability. It's like trying to write a guide on how to fix a super rare car model—interesting, but not very useful for most people. Plus, without ongoing examples or data, it's harder to prove that the solution actually works in different contexts. So, it can feel more like a fluke than a reliable fix.
