    Slide 1Polished
  2. Slide 2 of Grok 4.7's deck
    Slide 2Acceptable The title describes the reporting period rather than foregrounding the takeaway, which appears in the side panel.The chart shows only volume while the side panel argues 'volume is not efficiency', so the visual does not carry the point
  3. Slide 3 of Grok 4.7's deck
    Slide 3Acceptable The topic title and uniformly styled table do not immediately identify the main takeaway.The title 'Channel returns in H2 2025' is a topic label, not a takeaway
  4. Slide 4 of Grok 4.7's deck
    Slide 4Polished
  5. Slide 5 of Grok 4.7's deck
    Slide 5Acceptable The three cards contain substantial prose, making the supporting rationale slower to scan.A large vertical gap inside each card separates the stats from the narrative text, plus empty space at the bottom of each card
  6. Slide 6 of Grok 4.7's deck
    Slide 6Acceptable The bottom sentence repeats information already conveyed by the highlighted amounts and table.The summary sentence floats at the bottom with a large empty gap above it
  7. Slide 7 of Grok 4.7's deck
    Slide 7Acceptable The left table ends well above the right panel, leaving a large unused area and creating uneven visual weight.Large empty space under the table on the left unbalances the layout
