Workflow: Creating a Pitch Deck
Step 1 — Gather Inputs
Collect from the user:
- Company name, logo, tagline
- Industry / sector
- Funding round and target amount
- Key metrics (revenue, growth rate, margins, team size, IP count)
- Product/service description + photos (if available)
- Competitive landscape (3–5 peers)
- Financial projections (3–5 years)
- Team bios + photos
- Market size / TAM data
If the user provides a text brief or existing document, extract the above.
Step 2 — Plan Slide Structure
Map the user's content to the standard section flow. Read references/structure_contract.md for the full hierarchy and layout patterns. The default 14-section flow is:
- Cover — Company identity + investor branding + dramatic image
- Investment Highlights — 6-point grid of key selling points
- Market Opportunity — Market-size charts + growth thesis
- Industry Landscape — Competitor mapping / peer comparison
- Company Positioning — Strategic pillars / value proposition
- Core Competitiveness — Advantages matrix
- Product Portfolio — Product overview + technical architecture
- Technology Differentiation — Technical flow comparison + parameter tables
- Team Introduction — Founder + core team + advisory
- Growth Forecast — Revenue/order projections with charts
- Vision / Roadmap — Multi-phase strategic roadmap
- Financing Plan — Fund-raise ask + allocation breakdown
- Appendix — Supporting data, product photos, detailed comparisons
- Disclaimer — Legal disclaimer + contact information
Adaptation rule: Skip sections the user does not have content for. Merge closely related sections if the deck would otherwise exceed 20 slides. For seed-stage companies, sections 7–9 may be lighter; for growth-stage, sections 10–12 are heavier.
CRITICAL: The reference uses a flat 18-page structure with NO section-divider pages between major sections. Do NOT add chapter-divider slides.
Step 3 — Apply Visual Style
Read references/style_contract.md for the full style specification. Key rules:
- Background: WHITE (
#FFFFFF) on ALL content slides. No dark backgrounds ever.
- Color palette: Primary Blue
#1B3A6B (navy blue) as the dominant accent. Green is ONLY for secondary chart series (e.g., green bars for overseas/secondary data). No green as primary accent.
- Header: Navy blue horizontal line (2 px) below the page title on every content slide. Company logo in top-right corner on every content page.
- Data visualization: Navy blue bars/columns as PRIMARY color. Green only for secondary data series. Donut charts use navy blue + green (or navy blue + gray).
- Highlight style: Key metrics in bold, 2–4 pt larger than surrounding text.
- Conclusion banners: Full-width navy blue rectangle at bottom with white takeaway text.
Step 4 — Design Each Slide
For each slide, choose from the layout pattern catalog defined in references/structure_contract.md:
- Grid Highlights (Pattern A) — 3×2 cards with icons, titles, and two-line bullet summaries
- Dual Chart (Pattern B) — Two side-by-side charts with dark title bars
- Comparison Flow (Pattern C) — Horizontal arrow flow + comparison table below
- Strategic Pillars (Pattern D) — Vertical stack: navy blue label pill + bullet list per row
- Three-Column Matrix (Pattern E) — Three side-by-side modules + bottom icon grid
- Top/Bottom Comparison (Pattern F) — Upper/lower flow diagrams with callout boxes
- Photo Grid (Pattern G) — 3-column product photos with captions
- Conclusion Banner Bottom (Pattern H) — Navy blue full-width takeaway banner
Design principles per slide:
- One slide, one message
- Max 40–50 CJK chars or ~80 English words of body text
- 3–6 highlighted data points
- Prefer charts/diagrams over text bullets
- Every claim backed by a number, chart, or named source
Step 5 — Review & Polish
- Ensure all content pages have WHITE backgrounds — no exceptions
- Verify navy blue is the primary accent color everywhere
- Check that all charts use navy blue as the primary fill color
- Confirm logo placement (top-right) is consistent on every content slide
- Ensure header underline (navy blue) appears below every page title
- Validate that text does not overflow shapes
- Verify team member photos are actual photos, not generic icons
- Verify product photos are actual images, not placeholders
- Do NOT add "Strictly Confidential" watermarks or footers

Font Strategy for CJK Content
When the deck contains Chinese text (default assumption):
- Heading font: KaiTi / STKaiti (or Source Han Serif SC as substitute)
- Body font: Same as heading (single-family consistency)
- Latin/number supplement: Arial (for English terms and numerals)
- Bold emphasis: Use the font's bold weight or switch to a bold-compatible CJK face (e.g., Microsoft YaHei Bold)
When the deck is English-only:
- Heading font: Georgia or Merriweather (serif, professional)
- Body font: Same family
- Accent/bold: Use the bold weight of the same family
