    Slide 1Polished
  2. Slide 2 of Qwen3.8 Max (0902)'s deck
    Slide 2Polished The title repeats the same figures shown in the two KPI cards, so the cards add little.
  3. Slide 3 of Qwen3.8 Max (0902)'s deck
    Slide 3Acceptable The chart's metric and unit are not labelled directly on the axis; viewers must connect it to the adjacent callout.The y-axis has no unit label. 'Per 10,000 households' appears only in the side card.
  4. Slide 4 of Qwen3.8 Max (0902)'s deck
    Slide 4Polished The title is a topic label rather than a takeaway, e.g. 'Shift £360k from display into search, CRM and a TikTok test'.
  5. Slide 5 of Qwen3.8 Max (0902)'s deck
    Slide 5Acceptable The category labels are tightly spaced, particularly Paid social and Paid search, weakening separation between groups.Data labels on adjacent bars collide or run together: '£300£320', '£540£560', and '£720' crowding the £900 bar.
  6. Slide 6 of Qwen3.8 Max (0902)'s deck
    Slide 6Acceptable The commitment section uses long, similarly weighted bullets; the channel names and budget amounts are not emphasised for quick scanning.The decision box has unused padding below its single sentence.
