    Slide 1Polished
  2. Slide 2 of Kimi K3's deck
    Slide 2Polished The title is a topic label ('The decision before the board today'). The recommendation in the teal box would work better as the takeaway title.

  4. Slide 4 of Kimi K3's deck
    Slide 4Acceptable The right-hand explanation is text-heavy, with several multiline bullets that slow scanning.The October counting change behind the sharp jump is not marked on the chart. Viewers must read the caption and bullets to understand the step.
  5. Slide 5 of Kimi K3's deck
    Slide 5Acceptable The large teal '92%' on the right competes with the title's 64% complaints message, and it argues the opposite way at first glance.The right bar (1870) extends past the top of the y-axis limit (1750), making the chart look broken.
  6. Slide 6 of Kimi K3's deck
    Slide 6Polished The left bar (4.3) exceeds the maximum tick on the y-axis (4.0), extending out of the standard chart area.
  7. Slide 7 of Kimi K3's deck
    Slide 7Polished The step cards are much taller than their text, leaving their lower halves empty.
