"description": "A concise framework that connects information to meaning to action. Present the facts or findings objectively, explain why they matter to this audience, then state the decisions or next steps they require. The tone is analytical: data-forward and respectful of executive time, with no scene-setting beyond what the facts need. Best for executive briefings, status updates, and research findings; typical decks run 3-6 slides (analytics report, team performance review, strategy update).",
