Flowchart
Keep, move or cut a research slide?
Three questions to ask of every slide in an exported research deck
A decision flowchart for trimming a research readout deck. Each slide is tested on whether it helps the reader make the decision, whether evidence with a count stands behind it, and whether its title states the finding. Slides that fail go to the appendix, get cut or get a new title. It suits decks exported from research tools, which include every insight and question by default. Koji exports reports as editable PowerPoint decks that you can trim this way.
