Turn research findings into a slide story

A deck should support a question the audience needs to answer. Start with the decision and evidence before distributing paragraphs across slides.

Prepare the slide brief

Supply the audience, decision to support, time available and approved source material. Ask for a content outline before detailed slide production when the story is still uncertain. Generating PPTX requires compatible tools. Review the original presentation and, when rendering tools are available, inspect slide images for clipping and small text; text extraction alone cannot verify a deck.

Inputs for this workflow: A research memo with references and the audience’s main question.

Work through the task

1. Choose one message per slide.
2. Map each message to supporting evidence.

A brief you can adapt

Draft an eight-slide outline with slide title, evidence, suggested visual and speaker note. Keep uncertainty visible and do not invent statistics.

The filenames above are examples. Replace them with your actual inputs and destination before submitting the task.

Review the deliverable

Read just the slide titles in order. They should form a coherent argument supported by the attached memo.

Where this approach can fail

A compelling sequence does not excuse unsupported claims.
