# Executive Summary

A long report in eight slides: the situation, what was found, what it means, what is recommended, and the decision.

An executive summary deck condenses a long piece of work for people who will not read it: the question, the situation, the key findings with one chart, the implications, the recommendation, cost and benefit, risks, and the decision requested. This template is a complete eight-slide summary of a fictional report.
