Workflow
1. Clarify Requirements
- **Ask the user**: Single-slide or multi-slide (3-4 slides)?
- **Ask the user**: Any specific focus areas or topics to emphasize?
- **Only after user confirms**, proceed to research
2. Research & Planning
**Data Sources:**
- **Primary**: Company filings (BamSEC, SEC EDGAR - "Item 1. Business", MD&A), investor presentations, corporate website
- **Market data**: Bloomberg, FactSet, CapIQ (price, shares, market cap, net debt, EV, ownership)
- **Estimates**: FactSet/CapIQ consensus for NTM revenue, EBITDA, EPS
- **News**: Press releases from last 90 days, M&A activity, guidance changes
**Required Metrics:**
- **Financials**: Revenue, EBITDA, margins (%), EPS, FCF for ±3 years
- **Valuation**: Market Cap, EV, EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E multiples
- **Growth**: YoY growth rates (%)
- **Ownership**: Top 5 shareholders with % ownership
- **Segments**: Product mix and/or geographic mix (% breakdown)
**Normalization:**
- Convert all amounts to consistent currency
- Scale consistently ($mm or $bn throughout, not mixed)
**Before Building:**
- Print outline to chat with 4-5 bullet points per item (actual numbers, no placeholders)
- Print style choices: fonts, colors (hex codes), chart types for each data set
- Get user alignment: "Does this outline and visual strategy align with your vision?"
3. Slide-by-Slide Creation
**CRITICAL: You MUST create ONE slide at a time and get user approval before proceeding to the next slide.**
**For EACH slide:**
- Create ONLY this one slide with PptxGenJS
- **MANDATORY: Convert to image for review** - You MUST convert slides to images so you can visually verify them:
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf presentation.pptx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 -f 1 -l 1 presentation.pdf slide- **MANDATORY VISUAL REVIEW**: You MUST carefully examine the rendered slide image before proceeding:
- **Text overlap check**: Scan every text element - do any labels, bullets, or titles collide with each other?
- **Text cutoff check**: Is any text truncated at boundaries? Are all words fully visible?
- **Chart boundary check**: Do charts stay within their containers? Are ALL axis labels fully visible?
- **Quadrant integrity**: Does content in one quadrant bleed into adjacent quadrants?
- **If ANY overlap or cutoff is detected**: Fix immediately using these strategies in order:
- **First**: Reduce font size (go down 1-2pt)
- **Second**: Shorten text (abbreviate, remove less critical info)
- **Third**: Adjust element positions or container sizes
- **Re-render and verify again** - do not proceed until all text fits cleanly
- Show slide image to user with download link
- **STOP and wait for explicit user approval** before creating the next slide. Do NOT proceed until user confirms.
**YOU MUST CHECK FOR THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES ON EVERY PAGE:**
- Table rows colliding with text below them
- Chart x-axis labels cut off at bottom
- Long bullet points wrapping into adjacent content
- Quadrant content bleeding into adjacent quadrants
- Title text overlapping with content below
- Legend text overlapping with chart elements
- Footer/source text colliding with main content

Slide Format Requirements
Information Density is Critical
**The #1 goal is MAXIMUM information density.** A busy executive should understand the entire company story in 30 seconds. Fill every quadrant to capacity.
**Per quadrant targets:**
- **Company Overview**: 6-8 bullets minimum (HQ, founded, employees, CEO/CFO, market cap, ticker, industry, key stat)
- **Business & Positioning**: 6-8 bullets (revenue drivers, products, market share %, competitive moat, customer count, geographic mix)
- **Key F
