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).",
