Research & practice

Give every presentation figure a route back to its evidence

I linked a concise research presentation to its calculations and sources, then revised charts for comparison and tables for detail while keeping them editable.

01

The problem

Condensing the presentation separated its figures from their tables and assumptions.

02

My approach

I linked main slides to appendices and revised charts and tables for their different reading tasks.

03

What changed

I made the path from claim to calculation clearer and retained editable chart and table structures.

BUILD DETAILS

Build details & ideas to reuse

01The number survived; its explanation did not

Condensing the report left capacity and demand figures without their assumptions. I used Codex to connect those figures to the source tables so I could follow a question back to the calculation.

02Results in the main deck, calculations in the appendix

I added references on two main slides and organized three calculation appendices around facility area and occupancy, regular demand and annual visitors. This kept the spoken presentation concise while making the detail available.

03Explain discrepancies instead of hiding them

I kept a note explaining the difference between rounded entries and an annual total. Adding source appendices also exposed a geographic label to correct and a missing reference to mark. I preferred visible gaps to plausible but unsupported citations.

04Let charts and tables do different work

I made horizontal bars taller and shortened outside labels. Percentage changes stayed on the chart; shorter units and a separate change column went into the table. Keeping these as editable objects let me revise the same slides again.

05A check I can reuse on the next presentation

For each main claim, I look for a route to a table, an assumption and a source. The main slide can stay brief with a result and an appendix reference, provided that reference leads somewhere useful.

Scope and things to consider

I describe the appendix and chart-editing work without publishing confidential project amounts or detailed figures. I could not find the appendix file in the current shared folder. The separate chart revision available to inspect is a two-slide file with one native chart and one table; it does not establish the retained state of the full presentation.
