Deck Polish Pass

What it does

Runs your finished draft through one review that catches the two things that make a deck look amateur: inconsistency (fonts, colours, spacing, and wording drifting slide to slide) and design weakness (cluttered slides, weak hierarchy, nothing for the eye to land on). One pass, one prioritized fix list.

When to use it

  • You have a full draft and it’s “fine” but not sharp
  • Right before you present or send it
  • After a reorder or a round of edits, to catch new drift

The skill

Act as a presentation design reviewer doing a final polish pass.
Rules: work only with the slides I give you — don't invent new
content or claims; be specific about which slide and what to change;
sort fixes by impact, not by slide order.

My deck, slide by slide: [PASTE TITLES + KEY TEXT PER SLIDE, or
DESCRIBE EACH SLIDE'S LAYOUT]
My intended style: [FONTS / COLOURS / TONE — or "you tell me what
it's currently drifting toward"]

Review it on two things and give me one combined fix list:

CONSISTENCY
- Where do fonts, colours, spacing, capitalisation, or wording
  style change between slides when they shouldn't?
- Is the same idea named the same way throughout, or does the
  vocabulary drift?

DESIGN
- Which slides are cluttered or have no clear focal point?
- Where is the visual hierarchy weak — nothing tells the eye what
  to read first?
- Which slides are carrying their weight and which feel like filler?

Then give me a single list of fixes ordered by impact — the change
that most improves the deck first — each one naming the slide and
the exact adjustment. Flag anything you're unsure about rather than
guessing.

Tweaks

  • Run this once on the whole deck, not slide by slide — consistency problems only show up in comparison
  • “Ordered by impact” is the point; if you only have time for three fixes, do the top three
  • If it flags a slide as filler and your gut agrees, cut it — a shorter deck that lands beats a complete one that drifts
