In detail

Not supported by the analysis: slide 3: £124k.
Slide 3: “The smaller £310k unit has adjusted annual sales of £857k and EBITDA of £124k. The analysis gives £771k and £123k respectively.” is not supported by the analysis.
Slide 3: “The smaller unit's adjusted sales run-rate is about £2,380/day. That is the larger store's adjusted rate; the smaller unit is expected to take about 10% less.” is not supported by the analysis.
Slide 4: “The approved £310k, 45-seat case takes £2,380 per trading day.” is not supported by the analysis.
Slide 5: “The 45-seat case has baseline sales of £2,380/day, falling to £2,142/day and £1,904/day under the downside scenarios. These are valid percentage calculations from £2,380, but the baseline omits the smaller unit's expected 10% sales reduction.” is not supported by the analysis.
Slide 3: “£310k 45-seat unit, adjusted: annual sales £857k, EBITDA £124k” is not supported by the analysis.

Slide 1Download slide imagePolished The right-hand option cards repeat the 42- vs 30-month comparison already shown in the left panel's stat row; the same message appears twice on one slide.
Slide 2Download slide imageNeeds work All four bar-value labels wrap their final digit onto a separate line, making the amounts difficult to read. Widen the label area or move the values inside the bars.Bar value labels break mid-number ('£2,91 / 7', '£2,51 / 4', '£2,41 / 7', '£2,38 / 0') because the label column is too narrow.

Slide 5Download slide imagePolished Payback values wrap onto two lines ('30 / months') because the column is too narrow, so the table rows look uneven.
Slide 6Download slide imagePolished The board-resolution paragraph is a dense block for a projected closing slide and repeats conditions already listed on the right. Shorter clauses or bullets would improve scanning.
