Why it is not presentable

  • Quoted a figure the analysis says not to quote

    Slide 1Polished
  2. Slide 2 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 2Polished Square-cornered accent bars sit on top of rounded cards, so the card corners peek out beneath them and look mismatched
  3. Slide 3 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 3Acceptable All bars use the same colour, so the adjusted pop-up result and proposal benchmark are not visually distinguished.All bars are the same navy, so the adjusted pop-up (£2,380) and the base case (£2,917) are not highlighted even though the title compares them
  4. Slide 4 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 4Needs work The chart refers to the 36-month rule but does not show a reference line at 36 months.The '42' data label collides with the chart title
  5. Slide 5 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 5Needs work The Leeds row is not highlighted in the table despite being the focus of the slide.The '74%' data label collides with the chart title text ('Turnover')
  6. Slide 6 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 6Acceptable The recommendation list is entirely bold, giving actions and supporting details equal emphasis.The square orange accent bar meets the rounded navy box awkwardly
