Turn stale sales decks into a reusable visual refresh kit

Create an Airtable inventory with one row per slide. Track slide title, purpose, audience, deal stage, visual type, status, owner, and whether the slide should be kept, rewritten, merged, or removed. Do not start designing yet. First figure out which slides actually matter and which ones survive only because nobody deleted them.

Use Claude to analyze the deck and summarize what each slide is trying to communicate. For every important slide, define the core message, buyer question it answers, proof required, and current visual weakness. This step prevents design from masking unclear thinking.

Analyze this sales deck and extract the message behind each slide.

Deck content:
{{deck_text_or_slide_notes}}

Audience:
{{buyer_persona}}

Deal stage:
{{deal_stage}}

For each slide, output:
1. Slide number and title
2. Core message
3. Buyer question it answers
4. Current weakness
5. Recommended action: keep, rewrite, merge, delete, or redesign
6. Suggested visual pattern
7. Proof needed

Be direct. Do not preserve a slide just because it exists.
