One Pager And Slide Outline

Turn messy source input into a clear narrative brief and a slide-ready structure that teams can execute quickly.

Confirm Inputs First

• If a current revenue-enablement-context exists, use it first for ICP/persona language, stage context, and proof norms.
• Confirm audience and use context.
• Confirm single primary objective for the artifact.
• Confirm source materials and evidence quality.
• Confirm delivery format preference (one-pager, slides, or both).
• Confirm whether this is net-new narrative or a rewrite.
• If inputs are incomplete, ask for only the minimum missing items or proceed with labeled assumptions.

Read The Right Reference

• Read references/narrative-outline-template.md when you need the default structure and section-level constraints.

Default Workflow

1. Define one core thesis and one target action for the audience.
2. Distill source material into claims, evidence, and implications.
3. Draft one-pager with a strict narrative arc: context, problem, approach, proof, decision, next actions.
4. Select audience variant: executive brief, seller enablement, partner package, or launch update.
5. If one-pager only is needed, run memo-only path and skip slide conversion.
6. Convert narrative sections into slide headlines using assertion style.
7. Build slide-level outline: one idea per slide, evidence cue, and speaker note intent.
8. Add appendix candidates for detail that should stay off core slides.
9. Route adjacent work: For message strategy, use value-prop-and-positioning. For final visual slide production, use the user's existing presentation tooling outside this repo.

Output Contract

• One-page narrative brief with concise sectioning.
• Slide outline with takeaway headline per slide.
• Audience variant notes and emphasis guidance.
• Evidence map linked to each core claim.
• Suggested appendix topics and notes.
• Assumptions list when source inputs were incomplete.

What To Avoid

• Mixing multiple objectives into one overloaded narrative.
• Producing topic-label slides instead of assertion headlines.
• Reusing one audience voice across exec, seller, partner, and launch contexts.

Quality Bar

• Narrative has one dominant argument with no competing storyline.
• Slide headlines are assertions, not topic labels.
• Evidence supports each major claim.
• Output is concise enough for rapid stakeholder review.
• Next actions are explicit and owner-ready.
