Use Case
Use when the deck transitions from presentation to live discussion.
When to Use
For meetings, workshops, briefings, and reviews with active audience participation.
When to Avoid
Avoid when the close requires a specific decision instead of open discussion.
Block Structure
faq
Questions to pressure-test
Clarify, challenge, and decide.
- -What should we clarify?
- -What assumption should we challenge?
- -What decision can we make today?
Best Practices
Use prompts that support the meeting goal.
Keep the takeaway visible.
Do not use Q&A as a weak ending for a decision deck.
