The appendix is where conviction converts to diligence. When it reads like a file dump, partners assume the company is hiding sloppiness behind volume.

Structure before pixels

  1. 1Divider slide that signals 'diligence zone'.
  2. 2Numbered sections that mirror partner questions.
  3. 3One idea per appendix slide — same rule as the main deck.

Match typography and grid to the main deck so the PDF feels like one system, not two documents stitched together.
