What this skill does
Board Deck Builder Build board decks that tell a story — not just show data. Every section has an owner, a narrative, and a "so what." Keywords board deck, investor update, board meeting, board pack, investor relations, quarterly review, board presentation, fundraising deck, investor deck, board narrative, QBR, quarterly business review Quick Start Ask for a board deck in natural language, naming cadence and stage: "Build a quarterly board deck — we're Series A." "Draft a fundraising board deck for a seed-stage company." Provide available metrics. The builder fills gaps with explicit placeholders — never invents numbers.

The strategic shift to mid-market is working — ACV up 40% and sales cycle down 3 weeks. Q4 priority: close the $3M Series A and hit $2.8M ARR." 2. Key Metrics Dashboard (COO) 6-8 metrics max.
