Slide Deck Builder

A slide deck is an argument, not a filing cabinet. Every structural choice either advances or dilutes the central point. Build the narrative before touching any slide.

Build the spine first

Before writing a single slide, answer three questions in writing:

1. What does the audience believe now?
2. What should they believe or do after?
3. What is the single most important thing standing between those two states?

That gap is the deck's job. Every slide serves the journey across it. A deck that does not answer all three is not ready to build.
