▸case-01 I need you to analyze the narrative arc of my 10-slide strategy deck outline. The audience is our executive committee, who are already intimately familiar with our Q3 performance numbers. The primary risk is that user acquisition cost spiked 40% last month. Please review the sequence and generate:
1. An arc mapping table categorizing each slide under situation, complication, or resolution, along with balance checks for potential structural imbalances.
2. The central tension line captured in a single sentence, noting where it appears and whether it passes the meeting-stopping test.
3. Spoken transition scripts to say out loud between each slide pair to keep the narrative connected.
4. A sag diagnosis pinpointing where executive attention might drift, the underlying structural cause, and proposed re-sequencing adjustments. | pass→pass | 20,121 | 15,298 | -24% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 3,412 | 3,905 | +14% | 0 | 0 | — |
▸case-02 Here is the outline for my quarterly marketing budget pitch to our CFO. She knows our baseline campaigns well, but the real stake is that our top conversion channel saw a 25% drop due to recent privacy policy changes. I'd like you to run a narrative arc assessment on this deck. Specifically, provide:
- Slide assignments across situation, complication, and resolution roles, flagged for any narrative imbalance.
- The one-sentence tension line that drives the proposal, indicating its placement and stopping-test result.
- Verbal transition bridges to speak between every consecutive pair of slides.
- A structural sag diagnosis highlighting expected room drift spots and recommendations for re-ordering the slides. | fail→pass | 17,482 | 12,268 | -30% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 3,148 | 3,229 | +3% | 0 | 0 | — |
▸case-03 I am presenting an urgent database migration proposal to our VP of Engineering. The team is well aware of our current architecture, but our nightly job failures have doubled this month, putting SLA penalties on the line. Can you audit the storytelling structure of my slide list below? Please supply:
1. The arc mapping table listing slides alongside their arc roles and balance feedback.
2. A single-sentence statement of the core tension, its deck location, and the stopping test evaluation.
3. Scripted transition lines to connect slide to slide during the spoken presentation.
4. The sag diagnosis identifying where leadership might lose engagement, the root structural reason, and how to re-sequence the content. | fail→fail | 14,941 | 13,939 | -7% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 2,335 | 3,509 | +50% | 0 | 0 | — |
