What you're getting
Summary slides that preserve the decision, not every detail
This nine-slide template provides multiple ways to close a report, review, proposal, or board presentation. It supports a governing headline, key findings, scorecard, decisions, risks, priorities, actions, owners, and measures without repeating the entire deck.
The worked Q3 example demonstrates how a summary should synthesize rather than copy. Replace it only after the core presentation is stable, and make sure each takeaway is supported by evidence the audience has already seen.

Getting started
Write the summary after the rest of the deck is true
A reader who sees only the summary should understand the conclusion, why it matters, and what happens next.
- 1
Identify the governing takeaway
Write the single conclusion or decision that best represents the complete presentation.
- 2
Select supporting points
Keep only findings, measures, risks, or trade-offs already established in the body of the deck.
- 3
Choose the matching layout
Use headline, scorecard, decision, action, or ownership structures according to the closing job.
- 4
Make action accountable
Name decisions, owners, dates, measures, dependencies, and escalation where the presentation requires follow-through.
- 5
Remove repetition and new claims
Edit for synthesis, verify figures, and move any late-breaking analysis back into the main story.
