  1. Slide 1 of Gemini 3.8 Flash's deck
    Slide 1Polished
  2. Slide 2 of Gemini 3.8 Flash's deck
    Slide 2Acceptable The large options panel has substantial unused space below its text, leaving the layout top-heavy.Title is a topic label ('The Decision and Financial Context') rather than a takeaway
  3. Slide 3 of Gemini 3.8 Flash's deck
    Slide 3Acceptable The topic title does not foreground the key finding that Option B has more support than opposition.Title is a topic label; the actual takeaway (Option B is the only option with net support) is left to the side panel
  4. Slide 4 of Gemini 3.8 Flash's deck
    Slide 4Acceptable The title names an analysis rather than communicating its principal takeaway.Title is a topic label with no takeaway
  5. Slide 5 of Gemini 3.8 Flash's deck
    Slide 5Acceptable Option B is visually highlighted, but the title does not explain the conclusion of the comparison.Title is a topic label; the slide's point (Option B is strongest) is conveyed only by the card highlight
  6. Slide 6 of Gemini 3.8 Flash's deck
    Slide 6Polished The lavender 'Cabinet Recommendation' heading has low contrast against the purple panel and needs a lighter text colour.
