Create a six-frame presentation storyboard with a clear decision, evidence sequence and rehearsal plan.
A fictional library team asks for a two-week pilot of a simpler booking form. In the synthetic case, 40 of 100 attempts fail and a proposed pilot requires 12 staff-hours. No pilot has occurred. The audience must decide whether to authorize the test, not whether the idea has already succeeded.
| Case fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Observed attempts in synthetic sample | 100 |
| Failed attempts | 40 |
| Proposed pilot duration | 2 weeks |
| Estimated staff effort | 12 hours |
Name what the audience should understand and decide at the end. A presentation can be informative without demanding action, but this case asks for a bounded pilot. State the request early and identify concerns the audience is likely to have. Avoid filling slides before the purpose is clear.
Write a one-sentence decision request and audience brief.
Presentation brief
Record your result and evidence here or in a separate file.
The requested decision is authorize a two-week test, not approve a proven solution.
Replace a broad topic with a specific decision.
Arrange the story so each frame earns the next. For this case use decision, problem evidence, proposed change, pilot method, resource request and success/stop rules. Keep assumptions visible and do not make the audience infer the connection between a chart and the recommendation.
Draft six frame headlines and one supporting point each.
Six-frame storyboard
Record your result and evidence here or in a separate file.
Every frame contributes to the final decision.
Remove a frame that has no role in the argument.
A visual should clarify one comparison or relationship. Show 40 failed attempts out of 100 with the denominator visible. Do not present a future improvement bar without evidence. Use a pilot-plan diagram to communicate the proposed sequence instead of fabricating an after-result.
Create the problem chart and pilot sequence.
Two evidence visuals
Record your result and evidence here or in a separate file.
Only the baseline has a result; the pilot outcome is marked to be measured.
Replace predicted results with a measurement plan.
The opening should orient the audience to the problem and decision. The close should repeat the bounded request and the next step, not introduce new evidence. Use plain language and distinguish estimates from commitments. A spoken script should support the visual rather than force the audience to read paragraphs.
Write a 45-second opening and 30-second close.
Speaker notes
Record your result and evidence here or in a separate file.
The close names the 12-hour estimate and the approval needed.
Move detailed caveats into concise spoken context or supporting notes.
Rehearsal can reveal missing transitions and unsupported claims. Time an actual run if possible and record what changed. Prepare honest responses to cost, evidence and failure questions. If the case cannot answer a question, state the evidence the pilot will collect rather than inventing it.
Run or plan a five-minute rehearsal and answer five likely questions.
Rehearsal and Q&A log
Record your result and evidence here or in a separate file.
Actual rehearsal observations are distinct from planned checks.
Do not fabricate audience feedback or timing.
Deliver the six-frame HTML storyboard, two visuals, opening, close, Q&A and actual rehearsal notes when performed. Ask a reviewer to state the requested decision after seeing the first and last frames.
The presentation never turns a proposed pilot into a completed success story.
| Criterion | Points | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence and correctness | 30 | Calculations, source use and results match the supplied case; limitations are honest. |
| Required artifacts | 30 | All five stage outputs and the capstone handoff are present and inspectable. |
| Reasoning and decisions | 20 | Choices, assumptions, alternatives and the case-specific critical condition are explained. |
| Reproducibility | 10 | A reviewer can follow the stated steps and distinguish expected from observed results. |
| Clear communication | 10 | Labels, units, structure and evidence references make the work easy to review. |
Score at least 80/100, supply every required artifact, and satisfy the path-specific critical condition. Rework missing evidence before marking complete.
The synthetic baseline failure rate is 40/100 = 40%. The proposal is a two-week, 12-hour pilot with success and stop rules to be defined. There is no after-pilot result. The storyboard makes that distinction visible.
This is a storyboard and rehearsal package, not a delivered talk, tested intervention or PowerPoint file.
