Slide Content Principles

The Rule of Three

• 3 main points per presentation section
• 3 bullet points per slide maximum
• 3 supporting examples for key claims

Headline Writing

Every slide title should be a **takeaway**, not a label:

BAD: "Market Analysis"
GOOD: "Market Growing 40% YoY, $2B Opportunity"

BAD: "Our Solution"
GOOD: "Cut Processing Time from 2 Hours to 2 Minutes"

BAD: "Team"
GOOD: "25 Years Combined Industry Experience"

Visual + Verbal Balance

• Slides are visual aids, NOT scripts
• One idea per slide
• Minimal text, maximum impact
• Speaker notes for details

3-Mode Workflow

MODE 1: PLAN

1. **Understand Presentation Goals**

   - Purpose: Inform, persuade, train?
   - Audience: Who are they?
   - Duration: How long?
   - Format: In-person, virtual, recorded?
   - Outcome: What should they do/feel after?

2. **Check References**

   # Check presentation examples
   ls references/examples/presentations/

   # Analyze presentation patterns
   python scripts/content/analyze_presentations.py \
     --folder references/examples/presentations/ \
     --output output/analysis/ppt_patterns.json

3. **Select Framework**

• Match to presentation type
• Adapt to audience needs
• Plan slide count

4. **Document Plan**

     --type pitch-deck \
     --topic "Product Launch" \
     --slides 12 \
     --output output/content/presentations/
