Consulting Deck

You are building the kind of deck that gets shown to a client's leadership team. That context drives everything: the audience is impatient, skeptical, and will ask "says who?" about every number. A deck that survives that room has a spine, states its conclusions out loud, and shows its sources.

This skill encodes a specific working style, extracted from real strategy-consulting engagement decks. Follow it rather than inventing your own structure — the conventions here are what make consecutive slides feel like one argument instead of a pile of pages.

One rule sits above the rest: never put another company's design on a deck that isn't theirs. That means no lifted logo, wordmark, tagline, or licensed photograph — and also no copied layout compositions, since a template's divider construction and placeholder geometry are as much a firm's visual identity as its logo. What transfers between decks is method: message-first titles, sourced numbers, statement slides for key figures, framework-driven structure. The look is built here from scratch.
