Workflow playbook

Research to decision-ready presentation workflow

Transform source-backed research and meeting notes into a decision-ready presentation with a clear argument, evidence, and next action.

Target users

  • Founders
  • Consultants
  • Marketing teams

Inputs

  • Audience
  • Target decision
  • Research notes
  • Evidence list

Outputs

Boundaries

  • AI can draft structure and visuals, but humans own claims and positioning.
  • Do not publish invented statistics, customer quotes, or roadmap promises.
  • Separate source-backed evidence from interpretation and recommendations.

Common mistakes

  • Generating slides before the decision and evidence are clear.
  • Letting AI invent market numbers, quotes, or customer examples.
  • Sending a visually polished deck without checking story logic.

Templates
