Presentation QA

Review the rendered artifact, not only its object model or source code. A deck can be structurally valid and still fail because of wrapping, font substitution, crop changes, broken assets, or weak narrative.

Scope first

Confirm the active file, output format, audience, presentation setting, approved copy, brand constraints, locked elements, and whether the task is review-only or includes fixes. Review requests do not authorize rewriting, editing, publishing, or sending the deck.

Required workflow

1. Inventory

Record page count, dimensions, fonts, linked assets, hidden slides, notes, comments, animations, and expected outputs. Preserve the original; use a named working copy if fixes are requested.

2. Render every slide

Render all pages at a consistent 16:9 or source-native size. Build a contact sheet for sequence review, then inspect each slide at full resolution. If the deck has a reference image or baseline, normalize dimensions before comparison.

3. Audit in layers
