deck-initial-pitch

Use when

• Generates a 15-slide initial pitch presentation in structured markdown, ready to paste into PowerPoint, Canva, or Google Slides. Invoke when a consultant has completed a client intake (01-client-brief) and needs to present their proposed approach to the prospective client before the engagement is signed. This deck is the live pitch — the biz-dev-proposal is the leave-behind document. Tone is confident, diagnostic, and client-centred — not a sales brochure.
• Use this skill when it is the closest match to the requested deliverable or workflow.

Do not use when

• Do not use this skill for graphic design, video production, software development, or legal advice beyond the repository's stated scope.
• Do not use it when another skill in this repository is clearly more specific to the requested deliverable.

Workflow

1. Collect the required inputs or source material before drafting, unless this skill explicitly generates the intake itself.
2. Follow the section order and decision rules in this SKILL.md; do not skip mandatory steps or required fields.
3. Read files in references/ only when the body points to them or when you need the deeper framework, examples, or evidence.
4. Review the draft against the quality criteria, then deliver the final output in markdown unless the skill specifies another format.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not invent client facts, performance data, budgets, or approvals that were not provided or clearly inferred from evidence.
• Do not skip required inputs, mandatory sections, or quality checks just to make the output shorter.
• Do not turn the deck into a generic outline; every slide needs an assertion, usable speaker notes, and visual direction.
