What a PM had to fix

1. 1Decision deferredMake the callQuick edit

   What we’d changeAsk the exec team for a decision on the pricing hold, not a conditional recommendation. Name real owners rather than invented ones, and take the brief's wording off the slides.

• Owns the problemSome material problems—especially payments reliability and the retention/activation misses—are reported without saying what the team has already done or recommending a specific forward path.

Mixed · 2

• Respects explicit constraintsContent respects the slide count, headline rule, OKR reporting and cover-note length; layout/colour constraints are checked separately as instructed.The two graders disagreed on this one.
• Ready for the reader as deliveredThe deck contains notes to the author such as 'Opening ARR and other movements were not supplied', 'The supplied incident account...', and 'Departure backfill status was not supplied' rather than being written solely for Lena.The two graders disagreed on this one.

• Uses the supplied evidence correctlyAll current-state facts in the deck match the supplied brief and arithmetic; no material invented facts about today.
• Addresses the actual decisionIt commits to conditional pricing relief and declining the engineer transfer, and states the verification or evidence that would change each call.
• Identifies material uncertaintyIt names the unverified account overlap and incremental benefit, the unquantified revenue/activation impact, and unresolved reliability recurrence risk, and says how to resolve the first two.
• Avoids unsupported claimsCausal claims such as pricing-driven downgrades are traceable to the supplied evidence, and forecasts are labelled as conditional forecasts rather than established fact.
• Produces the required deliverableA complete 7-slide QBR deck and a <=60-word cover note are present and usable.
• Leads with the honest headlineThe first content slide headline pairs the new-ARR beat with the three missed OKRs and retention risk, not just the record quarter.
• Makes the decisions clearThe final slide gives both decisions with their costs/benefits, an owner, and an 8 October date before Q4 renewals.
• Headlines state the takeawayEvery slide headline is a takeaway sentence (e.g., 'New ARR was the only OKR to meet its target'), not a topic label.
• A real 7-slide deck
• Uses only the brand colours

   Source: Decisions the exec team needs to makeCustomer Success thinks it protects most of the $900k at risk.

   What we’d changeOn the slides, 'Protect $900k' overstates Customer Success's estimate that the hold protects most of it, and '1,100 customers expect it' is stronger than 1,100 webinar registrations.

• Avoids unsupported claimsIt presents '1,100 customers expect it on 28 Oct' and 'not a saving we planned' as established facts when the source only suggests them.
• Owns the problemThe activation and payments reliability misses are reported without saying what the team has already done or recommending a way forward for them.
• Ready for the reader as deliveredThe decision owners are placeholders that the output itself says to swap in names, and the year appears invented, so it is not ready as delivered.

Mixed · 1

• Uses the supplied evidence correctlyIt adds an unsupported year ('Q3 2026') and presents 1,100 registrants as customers expecting the feature, which the source does not state.The two graders disagreed on this one.

Got right · 9

• Addresses the actual decisionIt recommends approving the engineering move and conditionally approving the pricing hold, with the data gap that would change the pricing-hold call.
• Respects explicit constraintsIt delivers seven slides, makes every headline a takeaway, reports misses honestly, and includes owners and dates for both decisions.
• Identifies material uncertaintyIt names the top-20 versus top-50 overlap gap and says Customer Success confirmation would settle it.
• Produces the required deliverableThe required deck and a short cover note to Lena are present and usable in form.
• Leads with the honest headlineThe first content slide headline balances the new-ARR beat with the NRR drop and other misses rather than leading with 'record quarter.'
• Makes the decisions clearThe closing slide gives both decisions with cost/benefit, an owner, and a date before Q4 renewals.
• Headlines state the takeawayEvery slide has a takeaway sentence as its headline, even where a topic label also appears.
• A real 7-slide deck
• Uses only the brand colours

Claims the judge couldn’t find in the brief

• The deck/QBR is for Q3 2026.
• 1,100 customers expect bulk invoicing on 28 October.
