Audiences
Audience is an OPF design choice. Use these profiles to set seniority, technical fluency, decision power, attention budget, tone, density, narrative structure, color scheme, and layout defaults before slides are generated.
Before designing a slide, name who is in the room, what they already know, what they care about, and what action the deck should prompt.
When one deck serves executives and specialists, put the executive path up front and move supporting detail into clearly labeled appendix or drill-down sections.
The same idea needs different language for a CFO, engineer, customer, or regulator. Audience fit includes words, evidence, density, and pacing.
