The McKinsey-Grade
PowerPoint Generator

One self-contained prompt that turns an objective and your raw material into a board-grade PowerPoint deck. The router, the narrative spines, the slide blueprints, the chart rules, the house style, the evidence rules, the edge cases and the QA gates are all baked in — so the AI runs the real pipeline instead of guessing, and never invents a number to fill a gap. Below, the two menus it opens with, and six worked examples, one for each kind of audience.

Six of the ten deck types, worked through

Pick an audience. Watch the deck built, step by step.

Each tab is a worked example run through the same prompt: the brief, the eight steps, and the real slides it built. Each tab shows its deck-type number from the menu. Every company is fictional, so every number is ours to show you.

Ridgeline Health: nine hospitals and a margin down to 0.6%

“Ridgeline Health, nine hospitals, $2.1B net patient revenue. Operating margin has fallen from 3.8% to 0.6% in two years. I need a margin recovery plan for the board in three weeks.” With three years of finance and operations figures, that is the whole input. Answered 1 and 2 — strategy / board deck, board audience — the one prompt builds the twelve-slide board deck.

Step 1 · Intake

Intake

Opens with the two menus, then asks only what is missing.

Deck type 1 · Audience 2
In

“Ridgeline Health, nine hospitals, $2.1B net patient revenue. Margin has fallen from 3.8% to 0.6% in two years. Recovery plan for the board in three weeks.” + the FY23–FY25 finance and operations figures.

Out
1 Strategy / board2 BoardObjectiveLength 12Raw materialBrand: house style

Answered with two numbers, then restated in 7 lines — objective: board approval of a margin recovery plan. It pauses for your confirmation.

Step 2 · Route

Route

Picks the spine, the analyses and the slide blueprint for the deck type, and applies the audience overlay.

ROUTER · 10 deck types
In

The restated brief.

Out
Spine · Situation-Complication-Resolution, answer first
Analyses · framing · situation · competitive · options · business case · risk
Blueprint · strategy / board, 12 slides
Audience overlay · lead with risk and governance; cut execution detail

Edge cases checked: none apply. Pauses for your OK.

Step 3 · Analyse

Analyse

Runs only the analyses the route names, grades every finding, and finds one uncomfortable insight.

ANALYSIS TOOLKIT
In

Three years of finance and operations figures.

Out
Contract labour is 19.4% of nursing spend vs a 7.6% peer medianEvidence
Weekend discharge cuts widened the length-of-stay gapInference
“Medicare Advantage rates recover at the FY27 renewals”Assumption

Uncomfortable insight: the FY24 cost programme cut the appeals team by 30%, and denials overturned on appeal fell from 64% to 41%. Part of the margin loss was self-inflicted. Pauses.

Step 4 · Narrate

Narrate

One governing thought, stated as the answer, with three MECE arguments beneath it.

SPINES
In

The graded findings.

Out

“Ridgeline can recover to a 3.2% operating margin by FY28 by fixing four operating problems — none of which requires closing a service line.”

Three MECE arguments beneath it, each with its strongest proof, and the 60-second spoken version. Pauses.

Step 5 · Blueprint

Blueprint

Lays out the slide-by-slide skeleton, then recomputes every total before a slide is drawn.

In

The storyline.

S3 Situation · margin 3.8% → 0.6%, as a waterfall

Step 6 · Craft

Craft

Locks the action title and the right chart for every slide, in the house style or your brand.

Step 7 · QA

QA

Runs eleven quality gates, slide by slide, and fixes every failure.

Step 8 · Build

Build

Builds the .pptx with native, editable charts, then opens it to check.

Which AI tool to run it in

Built for Claude — because Claude builds the file

Run the whole prompt in Claude and it returns a finished .pptx with native, editable charts — real chart objects and real text boxes you can edit in PowerPoint, not a picture of a chart.

Claude

Runs the full pipeline and builds the PowerPoint file at the end. This is the path the prompt was written for.

ChatGPT

Runs the same pipeline. Returns a build-ready spec, and a file only where code execution is available to it.

Gemini

Runs the pipeline and returns the build-ready spec: titles, bodies, visuals, speaker notes and the colour tokens.

Do not split it across tools. Running the analysis in one tool and pasting the spec into Claude gives you a much weaker deck. The spec is a summary; the detail that makes the deck good — the evidence grades, the chart encodings, the reasoning behind every action title — lives in the conversation, not the summary. Run all eight steps in one place.

How to get the file

Microsoft PowerPoint Getting a real PowerPoint out of Claude

1

Paste the whole prompt into Claude. All of it, in one message. It is self-contained by design — the router, the spines, the blueprints and the QA gates travel with it.

2

Answer the two menus with two numbers. The deck type and the audience. Then it asks only for what is missing — objective, length, raw material, brand — and you paste your material and let it run.

3

Stay in the same conversation to the end. The prompt pauses between steps so you can steer. At the final step, Build, it offers the .pptx — take it there, while it still has the whole analysis in front of it.

Open it in PowerPoint and edit anything. The house style specifies native, editable charts rather than images, so the series, the labels and the colours are all yours to change.
