Critique a Strategy Deck Before It Goes to the Board

The deck is ready. The strategy is sound. Something about the argument structure will not land with a sceptical board. This identifies where the argument is weakest, what question will expose it, what is missing, and the three changes that would most improve it before the meeting.

[paste the key slides, talking points, or narrative here]

1. Does the deck lead with a clear strategic recommendation, or does it present options and leave the decision to the board?
2. Is the evidence for the recommendation strong enough to withstand challenge from a sceptical board member?
3. What is the weakest point in the argument, and what question will expose it?
4. What is missing: what would a rigorous board member ask for that is not in the deck?
5. What three changes would most improve the deck's persuasiveness before the meeting?
