Reference Source

• Reference type: Uploaded artifact (PDF)
• Reference artifact type: PDF (18-slide Chinese startup pitch deck for power-electronics company)
• Effective Reference File Type: PPTX (slide-deck presentation)
• Primary language: Chinese (Simplified) with English technical terms
• Reference fonts: KaiTi (STKaiti) for Chinese body/headings; Arial for Latin/numbers; MicrosoftYaHei-Bold for emphasis

Supported Outputs

| Format | Support | Notes | |--------|---------|-------| | PPTX | Primary | Default output; fully editable slides | | PDF | Yes | Export from PPTX for distribution |

Default Output Selection

1. If user explicitly requests a format, use that format.
2. Otherwise, default to PPTX (editable presentation).
3. If the user asks for a "shareable" / "final" version, offer PDF as well.

Workflow: Creating a Pitch Deck

Step 1 — Gather Inputs

Collect from the user:

• Company name, logo, tagline
• Industry / sector
• Funding round and target amount
• Key metrics (revenue, growth rate, margins, team size, IP count)
• Product/service description + photos (if available)
• Competitive landscape (3–5 peers)
• Financial projections (3–5 years)
• Team bios + photos
• Market size / TAM data

If the user provides a text brief or existing document, extract the above.

Step 2 — Plan Slide Structure

Map the user's content to the standard section flow. Read references/structure_contract.md for the full hierarchy and layout patterns. The default 14-section flow is:

1. Cover — Company identity + investor branding + dramatic image
2. Investment Highlights — 6-point grid of key selling points
3. Market Opportunity — Market-size charts + growth thesis
4. Industry Landscape — Competitor mapping / peer comparison
5. Company Positioning — Strategic pillars / value proposition
6. Core Competitiveness — Advantages matrix
7. Product Portfolio — Product overview + technical architecture
8. Technology Differentiation — Technical flow comparison + parameter tables
9. Team Introduction — Founder + core team + advisory
10. Growth Forecast — Revenue/order projections with charts
11. Vision / Roadmap — Multi-phase strategic roadmap
12. Financing Plan — Fund-raise ask + allocation breakdown
13. Appendix — Supporting data, product photos, detailed comparisons
14. Disclaimer — Legal disclaimer + contact information

Adaptation rule: Skip sections the user does not have content for. Merge closely related sections if the deck would otherwise exceed 20 slides. For seed-stage companies, sections 7–9 may be lighter; for growth-stage, sections 10–12 are heavier.

CRITICAL: The reference uses a flat 18-page structure with NO section-divider pages between major sections. Do NOT add chapter-divider slides.

Step 3 — Apply Visual Style

Read references/style_contract.md for the full style specification. Key rules:

• Background: WHITE (#FFFFFF) on ALL content slides. No dark backgrounds ever.
• Color palette: Primary Blue #1B3A6B (navy blue) as the dominant accent. Green is ONLY for secondary chart series (e.g., green bars for overseas/secondary data). No green as primary accent.
• Header: Navy blue horizontal line (2 px) below the page title on every content slide. Company logo in top-right corner on every content page.
• Data visualization: Navy blue bars/columns as PRIMARY color. Green only for secondary data series. Donut charts use navy blue + green (or navy blue + gray).
• Highlight style: Key metrics in bold, 2–4 pt larger than surrounding text.
• Conclusion banners: Full-width navy blue rectangle at bottom with white takeaway text.

Step 4 — Design Each Slide

For each slide, choose from the layout pattern catalog defined in references/structure_contract.md:

• Grid Highlights (Pattern A) — 3×2 cards with icons, titles, and two-line bullet summaries
• Dual Chart (Pattern B) — Two side-by-side charts with dark title bars
• Comparison Flow (Pattern C) — Horizontal arrow flow + comparison table below
• Strategic Pillars (Pattern D) — Vertical stack: navy blue label pill + bullet list per row
• Three-Column Matrix (Pattern E) — Three side-by-side modules + bottom icon grid
• Top/Bottom Comparison (Pattern F) — Upper/lower flow diagrams with callout boxes
• Photo Grid (Pattern G) — 3-column product photos with captions
• Conclusion Banner Bottom (Pattern H) — Navy blue full-width takeaway banner

Design principles per slide:

• One slide, one message
• Max 40–50 CJK chars or ~80 English words of body text
• 3–6 highlighted data points
• Prefer charts/diagrams over text bullets
• Every claim backed by a number, chart, or named source

Step 5 — Review & Polish

• Ensure all content pages have WHITE backgrounds — no exceptions
• Verify navy blue is the primary accent color everywhere
• Check that all charts use navy blue as the primary fill color
• Confirm logo placement (top-right) is consistent on every content slide
• Ensure header underline (navy blue) appears below every page title
• Validate that text does not overflow shapes
• Verify team member photos are actual photos, not generic icons
• Verify product photos are actual images, not placeholders
• Do NOT add "Strictly Confidential" watermarks or footers

Slide Type Quick Reference

| Slide Type | Recommended Layout Pattern | Key Visual Elements | |---|---|---| | Cover | Split 1/3 white + 2/3 image | Logo, title, subtitle, investor logo, hero image on right | | Highlights | Pattern A (Grid) | 6 icon cards, key numbers | | Market size | Pattern B (Dual Chart) | Navy blue bar charts, source labels | | Competitors | Pattern C (Comparison Flow) | Arrow flow, peer logos, comparison table | | Positioning | Pattern D (Pillars) | Navy blue label pills + bullet lists | | Advantages | Pattern E (3-Column Matrix) | Side-by-side modules, icon grid | | Tech differentiation | Pattern F (Top/Bottom) | Flow diagrams, callout boxes | | Team | Custom: Photo + Bio cards | Headshots (actual photos), names, titles, bullet bios | | Financial projections | Pattern B (Dual Chart) | Navy blue bar chart + navy/green pie chart | | Roadmap | Sequential stages | Rounded rectangles, arrows, stage numbers | | Funding ask | Custom: Centered large number + 4 ring charts | Large amount, 4 separate donut charts, allocation labels | | Product photos | Pattern G (Photo Grid) | 3 actual product images with captions | | Comparison tables | Custom: Full-width table | Navy blue header, zebra rows, bold first column | | Disclaimer | Text-heavy single column | Large title, bullet disclaimers, contact grid |

Font Strategy for CJK Content

When the deck contains Chinese text (default assumption):

• Heading font: KaiTi / STKaiti (or Source Han Serif SC as substitute)
• Body font: Same as heading (single-family consistency)
• Latin/number supplement: Arial (for English terms and numerals)
• Bold emphasis: Use the font's bold weight or switch to a bold-compatible CJK face (e.g., Microsoft YaHei Bold)

When the deck is English-only:

• Heading font: Georgia or Merriweather (serif, professional)
• Body font: Same family
• Accent/bold: Use the bold weight of the same family
