Preflight
Decks.
A deck director that refuses to start from a template. One idea, three real directions, and a deck proven to fit every screen.

The default failure
Decks fail upstream of design.
FAILURE 01
Nothing to say
Competent slides carrying no argument. Swap the logo for a competitor's and nothing changes.
FAILURE 02
Three skins
The "three directions" are one skeleton in three colors, so choosing is theater.
FAILURE 03
Fits one screen
Gorgeous on the author's laptop; overflowing, reflowed, or unreadable on the projector and the phone.

SAFE
A solid preset
Proves the legibility baseline.

A bold template
Pushes voice and layout risk.
WILDCARD ← CHOSEN HERE
The field manual
A motif grown from the content: paper, ink, readiness rail, stamp.

Stage 3 · scored from pixels
Critique Loop.
VETO RULE
Concept ≤ 5 caps the whole deck at 6.0.
Polish can't rescue an empty idea. The fix is a new concept and a reopened gate — not cosmetic edits. Ship bar: 7.5, nothing below 6.04 / 06
Stage 4 · mechanical proof
Verified on every screen.
