When to use it.
Signal is a 14-slide strategy review for boards, trustees and advisory clients who expect a sober, well-argued paper rather than a sales pitch. It moves from the year's headline results, a five-year bar chart and an allocation donut, through a dated sequence of events and a partner quote, to the choice ahead, a before-and-after comparison, the recommendation, guiding principles, decision criteria and next steps. Deep navy slides with a faint grid, serif headlines and a single antique-gold accent give it the weight of an institutional briefing.
