I hit a wall with my problem statement/problem slide

Okay I don't know if this is going to help, but I am very stuck and nothing my mentors and advisors have said have helped me break through.

The actual problem I am solving is an industry level problem. I experienced one of the symptoms of this problem which led me to explore the opportunity. As I dug into it, I realized that the true problem was MUCH bigger and much more complex. After many years exploring that, I finally was able to solidify a viable solution to this massive problem.

So I have previously articulated the problem statement as the symptom that I personally felt, but the growth opportunity is much bigger than just that symptom so I have been trying to reframe that narrative. I cannot for the life of me figure out the right way to say it without it coming off as unfocused, abstract, or just generally unclear.

I know this is a bit vague but I really can't share much more. I am just hoping someone has a piece of advice/clarity.
