Presentation Standards¶

Purpose¶

This document defines core Alescent presentation standards for creating, presenting, and distributing slide materials.

External presentations should be shown in slide show format, not edit mode.
External sharing should generally use PDF or PPS/PPSX rather than editable PPT/PPTX unless specifically authorized.
Slides should be sparse enough to present, not merely read.
A practical maximum is three key visuals, five succinct bullets, or approximately forty words per slide.
Client, customer, or partner names and logos should never survive from copied materials unless intentionally included and authorized.
Copyrighted or trademarked content should be identified and used appropriately.
Licensed background images should be inserted on slide masters where possible to reduce file size and improve consistency.
Spelling, grammar, structure, and detail errors are credibility risks.

Presentation materials are derivative assets. They should be generated or revised from canonical source materials, not treated as source doctrine.
