Why it is not presentable

  • Layout defect: something off the slide, colliding, too small or too faint to read
  • A slide the judges rated as needing work

In detail

  • Slide 4: text 3 and table 4 collide.
  1. Slide 1 of Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview's deck
    Slide 1Polished
  2. Slide 2 of Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview's deck
    Slide 2Acceptable The title is a topic label rather than the key recommendation.Topic label 'Executive Summary' where a takeaway title (e.g. 'Approve the smaller £310k unit, not the £480k store') would serve better
  3. Slide 3 of Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview's deck
    Slide 3Acceptable The two-line title sits too close to the orange divider.Title wraps to two lines and the second line 'Overstated' sits directly on the orange rule, so the text collides with it
  4. Slide 4 of Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview's deck
    Slide 4Needs work The table header overlaps and clips the final line of the explanatory paragraph.The last line of the body text ('board's criteria.') is clipped by and overlaps the table header bar
  5. Slide 5 of Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview's deck
    Slide 5Acceptable The left column is text-heavy, with several multi-line bullets.Y-axis tick labels are oddly rounded (2%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%), which looks inconsistent
  6. Slide 6 of Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview's deck
    Slide 6Acceptable Long, equally weighted bullets make the resolutions slower to scan.Plain text-only list largely repeating slide 2, with no emphasis on the decision figures
