• Assume domain knowledge
• Dense but organized information

Executives:

• Lead with insights, not data
• "So what?" on every slide
• Decision-enabling content
• Bottom-line upfront (BLUF)

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• ✗ Using 3-column layout for 2 items (leaves columns empty)
• ✗ Stacking charts/tables below text (use side-by-side instead)
• ✗ Image layouts without actual images
• ✗ Quote layouts for emphasis (use only for real quotes with attribution)

Design Philosophy

This deck is designed for reading and sharing, not live presentation:

• Each slide must be self-explanatory without verbal commentary
• Structure content for logical flow when scrolling
• Include all necessary context within each slide
• Optimize for social media sharing and offline reading
