Give a deck a spine the room can follow — the situation-complication-resolution arc, the tension that makes the recommendation feel necessary, the transitions that carry the thread between slides, and the arc-check that catches sag. Use when asked make this deck flow, my presentation feels like disconnected slides, structure the story of this pitch/readout, or the room got lost in the middle. Produces the arc mapping, the tension line, the transition script, and the sag diagnosis.

# Deck Narrative Arc Skill

A deck can pass every slide-level test — clean headlines, honest charts — and still lose the room, because rooms follow *stories*, not sequences. The oldest working arc: **situation** (the world as the audience knows it — brief, they live there) → **complication** (the tension: what changed, what threatens, what's newly possible — this is where attention gets recruited) → **resolution** (the recommendation, arriving as the *answer to the tension* rather than as an announcement). Decks that sag in the middle usually have no complication — nothing at stake — so the resolution lands as opinion instead of necessity.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The arc mapping** — the deck's slides assigned to situation / complication / resolution, with the imbalances flagged
- **The tension line** — the complication stated in one sentence; the thing the whole deck resolves
- **The transition script** — the spoken sentence between each slide that carries the thread ("so if that's the leak — what's causing it?")
- **The sag diagnosis** — where the room will drift, and the fix (usually: tension arrived too late or dissolved too early)
