Each one is a hard requirement. Together they define the gap single-deck tools don't fill.
01 Auth vs. publish, balanced
Confidential by default for sensitive materials, easy-to-publish for the rest, with the boundary visible and controllable.
02 AI design agents that wow-ify prior art
Take ugly prior decks (or a Google Doc outline) to shareable polish on a 6-day turnaround. AI not optional. Timeline not optional. Polish bar not optional.
03 Non-destructive iteration
Tweak, embellish, try variants, reorder — but never destroy. Optionality is a deliverable, not a side-effect.
04 MVP-playable deck, always
At any given moment, a deck must be ready to present. On-the-fly opportunities don't wait.
05 Continuous iterate, fork, personalize
Improve and personalize toward a specific meeting on short notice — without ever breaking the always-playable MVP.
06 Passable PDF export
Looks-like-it-came-from-Keynote is the export bar. No "obviously generated by a web tool" tells.
07 Periodic urgent content integration
New market research, fresh news, yesterday's call transcript — folded in near-urgently and reflowed without manual rebuild.
