Use Case
Use when the first slide needs to establish the company, category, and promise in one confident move.
When to Use
At the start of investor, sales, or product launch decks where the audience needs the wedge quickly.
When to Avoid
Avoid for internal readouts where the audience already knows the context and needs the answer first.

Best Practices
Name the category before naming the product.
Use one strong headline rather than a subtitle stack.
Keep the visual system restrained so the thesis carries the slide.
