Three-Slide Draft Framework
To prevent long slide decks from obscuring a proposal, recommendation drafts should start with a three-slide core:
- Slide 1 (Recommendation and Ask): States the specific proposal, timeframe, and target decision date.
- Slide 2 (Reasons with Evidence): Outlines the primary supporting arguments (such as three key reasons), each explicitly supported by empirical data or operational sources.
- Slide 3 (Cost, Risk, and Next Steps): Specifies the financial expenditure, major operational risks or stopping mechanisms, and immediate action items.
All supplementary details, data, and background material are placed in an appendix so they are available upon request without competing with the primary argument. This three-part architecture can also be formatted as a one-page memo.
