Why it is not presentable
Layout defect: something off the slide, colliding, too small or too faint to read
Quoted a figure the analysis says not to quote
In detail
Slide 7 quotes 14,200: the landlord's unverified footfall figure of 14,200 people a day.
Slide 2: text 4: 11 pt body text.

Slide 1AcceptableThe title names the topic rather than stating the recommendation.All content sits in the top-left; the right half and bottom ~45% of the slide are empty, so the layout feels unbalanced
Slide 2AcceptableThe topic title does not communicate the key takeaway: the adjusted run-rate falls below the business-case assumption.The title 'The Pop-up Test' is a topic label, not a takeaway
Slide 3AcceptableA large empty gap separates the table from its conclusion.Large empty gap between the table and the callout box
Slide 4AcceptableA large empty gap separates the single-row table from the supporting callout.A table with one row adds little; the 30-month payback could be a highlighted number or shown against the £480k option
Slide 5AcceptableAll bars use the same colour, so Leeds is not visually highlighted despite being the focus.Y-axis tick labels are rounded and unevenly spaced (0, 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18%), which is confusing; the 18% tick sits below the 18% York bar
Slide 6AcceptableThe large background panel contains substantial unused space below the text.The bottom ~40% of the grey panel is empty; the content could be spaced or sized up to fill it
Slide 7AcceptableThree equally weighted evidence categories provide no immediate overarching takeaway.Text-only slide with the bottom half empty
