Why it is not presentable
Quoted a figure the analysis says not to quote
In detail
Slide 6 quotes 104%: finance's unreconciled preliminary net revenue retention of 104%.
Slide 1AcceptableThe decision question receives more emphasis than the actual recommendation.The bold purple 'Decision' line is nearly as large as the title, so the two compete for attention
Slide 2AcceptableThe paragraph above the chart is text-heavy and repeats information shown visually.Three sentences of body text above the chart repeat what the chart shows; the slide is text-heavy
Slide 3AcceptableThe title names the topic rather than stating the onboarding takeaway.The title is a topic label ('Why Starter accounts leave') rather than the takeaway that onboarding drives churn
Slide 4AcceptableThe test results are repeated in the prose and table.Text-heavy: the body text repeats exactly what the table shows
Slide 5AcceptableA large empty band separates the explanatory text from the chart.A large empty gap separates the text from the chart, which is pushed to the bottom edge
Slide 6AcceptableThe slide relies entirely on a long bullet list, with little visual emphasis on the two cautions.The slide is text-only and the bottom half is empty
Slide 7AcceptableThe title is a generic 'Recommendation' labelTitle is a topic label ('Recommendation')
