Deck
Before structure pretends to be argument
Summary
Deck is the difference between arranging information and building an argument. AI can make a presentation cleaner, but clean is not the same as convincing. This node asks whether each slide is doing real work: opening a question, moving the argument, removing doubt, creating pressure, or making the next slide necessary.
Risk
Structure mistaken for argument.
Practice
Turn structure into argument.
Output
Narrative argument.
Applied bite
Review the deck as an argument, not as an arrangement of slides. Ask what each slide does: what question it opens, what doubt it removes, what pressure it creates, and why the next slide needs to exist.
