Build an institutional-grade pitch deck for the company named in the user's request. If no ticker or company is provided, ask for one before proceeding.

Before starting, read ../design-system.md for formatting conventions and ../data-access.md for data access methods. Also read the reference files in this skill's references/ directory for slide templates and components.

This skill generates a self-contained HTML presentation that can be opened in a browser and printed to PDF if needed.

Phase 1 — Requirements

Determine the deck category and scope:

Category (infer from context, or default to IB Advisory):

IB Advisory — M&A advisory, fairness opinions, board presentations. Navy/steel/gold palette. "CONFIDENTIAL" marking.
Activist / L-S Equity — Shareholder campaigns, investment memos as decks. Navy/blue/orange or navy/sky/green palette.

Firm Attribution:

Firm name defaults to "Daloopa". If the user specifies a firm name in their prompt, use that instead.
NEVER hallucinate a firm name (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, etc.). See ../data-access.md Section 4.5.
Include firm name on the cover slide and in all slide footers.
