# Presentation Builder
## Inputs
Topic and goal (inform, persuade, decide), audience, length in minutes, source material if any.

## Procedure
1. State the deck's single claim in one sentence; every slide must serve it.
2. Allocate roughly one slide per 1-2 minutes. Each slide: a headline that states its point as a sentence (not a topic label), the 3 supporting elements max, and the visual that belongs there described in one line.
3. Write speaker notes per slide: what to say that is not on the slide, under 60 words each.
4. Build an appendix of the slides the Q&A will demand (data detail, methodology, alternatives considered).

## Deliverable
The slide list with headlines, elements, visual notes, and speaker notes; then the appendix list.

## Standards
- If a slide's headline cannot be written as a claim, the slide has no point - merge or cut it, and say which.
- No slide may require the audience to read a paragraph.
