Rishad: excellent comments and thanks for sharing. It's a valuable and practical reminder that we need to keep the train of thought on the "What -> So What -> Now What" flow - driving to some action or decision. One build on what you wrote -- I encourage students and the emerging professionals we train, to make sure each slide has a "headline," a simple direct takeaway. Too often the top of the slide is just a placeholder e.g., 'Revenues', 'Markets', 'Competition', etc, and the audience is left to figure on their own how to summarize all the data and details presented on the slide. My sense is that your sparse/efficient model might net to the same place, if the body of the slides communicates the summaries succinctly. Thanks for your crisp framework - I will test it out!

Love it! Definetely going to challenge my team and colleagues to apply this straight-forward, door-openning, discussion-insiring approach. Thanks a lot!
