Open on the audience's real tension. State what they will be able to see, decide, or do differently by the end.
01 · Start with the contradiction

## A strong deck turns evidence into a decision the room can make.

Replace this statement with the governing claim of the talk. Keep the consequence visible and specific.

Template example — replace with a decision-relevant qualification or source.

Do not narrate the table of contents. Explain why the current way of seeing the problem is insufficient.
02 · Quantify what changes

## Use numbers to reveal the mechanism, not to decorate the page.

Observed 72

Name the actual measure and its period.

Expected 48

State whether this is a target, baseline, or forecast.

Decision gap 24

Translate the difference into an implication.

Template values are illustrative. Replace all values, units, and labels.

Reveal the three measures in order: actual, comparison basis, and decision implication.
03 · Let the visual carry the proof

## Show the change across time and mark the threshold that matters.

Driver A
82
Driver B
58
Driver C
36

Template example — direct-label the real measure, period, unit, and threshold.

Explain the inflection point first, then the drivers. Do not read every mark.
04 · Make the operating sequence explicit

## A useful recommendation names the evidence, owner, threshold, and action.

A

### Observe

Define the authoritative signal and cadence.

B

### Interpret

Separate change, uncertainty, and data error.

C

### Decide

Name the owner and decision threshold.

D

### Learn

Record outcome, override, and next test.

Tie each step to an actual role and artifact. Replace generic verbs with the concrete operating flow.
05 · Preserve uncertainty

## Scenarios matter only when they change the action.

Base Current assumptions 100
Downside Named adverse change 62
Stress Additional event 31
After actions 76

Show what remains exposed.

Template values are illustrative. Replace assumptions, outcomes, actions, and residual risk.

Do not imply precision the evidence cannot support. State which assumptions drive the downside and what can be activated in time.
06 · Make delivery testable

## Move from intent to a reversible sequence with owners and gates.

1

### Scope

Agree the decision, source perimeter, and owner.

2

### Reconcile

Make the critical inputs traceable and comparable.

3

### Pilot

Test one use case against a clear baseline.

4

### Govern

Approve, monitor, and define stop conditions.

Replace the template phases with the actual sequence, timing, owners, proof points, and stop conditions.
The decision to take away

## End with the three moves the audience should remember.

See

Make the mechanism visible.

Choose

Compare conditions and consequences.

Act

Name the owner and next move.

Repeat the governing decision in plain language. End on the action or question the room must now own.
