# Text-to-presentation brief and source-to-slide worksheet

Prepare a six-slide decision deck from reviewed source notes. This is an editable planning document, not an AI-generated presentation. The worked example is fictional. Replace its content with your own evidence before sharing.

## 1. Your brief

- Topic: [topic]
- Audience: [who will read or hear this]
- Decision or learning outcome: [what should they decide or understand]
- Speaking time: [minutes]
- Output language: [language]
- Date and source revision: [date and revision]
- Required output: [editable PowerPoint / fixed-layout PDF / another format]

## 2. Reviewed source notes

Paste only material you are authorized to use. Keep units, dates and qualifications with the claims they describe. Label observations, estimates and proposals. Mark unknowns instead of completing them with invented numbers.

[Paste reviewed notes here.]

## 3. Evidence map

| Source reference or paragraph | Supported claim | Proposed slide | Qualification or unknown | Review status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [reference] | [claim] | [slide] | [limitation] | [not reviewed / verified / corrected] |

## 4. Six-slide structure

1. Decision requested: [decision and assumptions]
2. Current workflow: [supplied facts about the current situation]
3. Proposed approach: [proposal, clearly distinguished from completed work]
4. Operational questions: [dependencies, owners and unresolved requirements]
5. Measurement plan: [what to measure; leave targets unknown without a baseline]
6. Next step: [responsible person, review date and source references]

## 5. Copyable AI brief

Create a six-slide presentation in [language] for [audience] to decide [decision]. Use only the reviewed notes below. Follow the six-slide structure above. Keep missing dates, budgets and targets in square brackets. Distinguish observations, estimates and proposals from verified measurements. Do not invent metrics, customer quotations or sources. Use concise headings and one main point per slide; place supporting detail in speaker notes. Retain source references for review. Reviewed notes: [paste notes].

Preparing this brief does not use a generation allowance. Brainbaby's free planner organizes it in your browser tab; review the available account allowance before generating in the presentation workspace.

## 6. Fictional pickup-pilot example

Source notes: One neighborhood coffee shop accepts orders at the counter. Its owner wants to evaluate pickup ordering during the morning rush. Staff need an order list and a ready status. Demand, queue time, staffing impact and budget have not been measured. A payment integration has not been selected. The next decision is whether to run a pilot.

- Decision requested: Approve a limited pickup-ordering pilot?
- Current workflow: Customers order at the counter; no measured wait-time claim.
- Proposed pilot: Submitted, preparing and ready states; these are proposed requirements.
- Operational questions: Staff capacity, order identification and unavailable items; payment is unresolved.
- Measurement plan: Record placed and fulfilled orders, preparation time, mistakes and feedback; targets remain unknown.
- Next step: Confirm scope, [owner], [budget] and [review date].

## 7. Review record

| Check | Evidence or correction | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Every number, name and date matches the source | [reference] | [not checked] |
| Proposals have not become promises | [slide] | [not checked] |
| Unknowns are visible | [placeholder] | [not checked] |
| Charts use real supplied data | [source or not applicable] | [not checked] |
| Small text, contrast and line wrapping are readable | [workspace and export] | [not checked] |
| Images and quotations are authorized | [reference or not applicable] | [not checked] |
| Export opens in the intended application | [application, version and result] | [not checked] |

Do not describe an unchecked item as passed. An editable PowerPoint export and a fixed-layout PDF serve different purposes; neither guarantees a native Google Slides document.
