Who it's for: consultants, founders, managers, marketers

Example

> **Goal**: Transform a simple topic into a presentation-ready, high-quality slide deck. When key information is missing, use the minimal intake form (references/INTAKE.md) to gather context or apply safe defaults. Then follow the workflow (references/WORKFLOW.md) to produce an outline, slide drafts, charts, and speaker notes. After generation, self-evaluate using the rubric (references/RUBRIC.md); if the score is < 75, automatically refine up to 2 iterations until ≥ 75 before delivery. See **Deliverables** section for final output structure.
