Worked example & fields
Illustrative teaching extension of The Window Room. Pending review; not a client record, supplier quote, site survey, or construction-ready document.
Worked example preview · DOCX
- Opening: purpose of the review
Explain what the client is being asked to decide today and what is not yet ready for approval.
Review the illustrative material direction for The Window Room; no procurement or construction approval requested.
- Brief recap
Show the essential needs and retained conditions before proposing a solution.
Reading, conversation, and storage; retain existing oak floor and opening positions.
- Existing information
Place a plan or survey image with its source and status clearly labeled.
[Insert verified project information here.] The sample has nominal dimensions only; concept imagery is not a survey.
- Selected direction
Place the concept image and explain how the proposal responds to the brief.
[Insert Quiet Oak concept image.] Pale oak, mineral walls, and linen support the selected calm direction. AI-generated concept illustration.
- Alternative and tradeoff
Compare a specific decision on equal terms; do not change multiple constraints invisibly.
[Insert Deep Olive comparison image.] Darker joinery and olive upholstery are an alternative study, not the downstream selection.
- Layout and references
Show a readable plan and identify the items discussed. Label the drawing’s status.
[Insert WR-01 sample plan.] F-01 sofa, F-02 reading chair, and J-01 storage remain illustrative and pending review.
- Materials and open questions
Separate the proposed visual palette from verified product selections.
FIN-01 floor retained; FIN-02 wall area to survey; final F-01 model not specified.
- Decision and next steps
List the requested decision, person responsible, and information needed for the next review.
Record feedback on direction, confirm unresolved requirements, and develop verified project information before detailed coordination.
How to use this template
Download the blank PPTX and replace its editable text, palette swatches, diagram shapes and image placeholders. The worked PPTX and PDF preview show the illustrative Window Room. The companion DOCX is a planning storyboard. You can also import the PPTX into Google Slides; check fonts, image crops and line breaks again after adding your own material. After presenting, write a separate decision record; do not treat slide comments or image selection as blanket approval.
- Write the decision request before arranging images.
- Use consistent references and comparable views for alternatives.
- Record feedback against the relevant decision rather than relying on presentation notes alone.
Ask for one decision at the right level
The download bundle includes blank and worked-example PPTX slide decks, a PDF preview, and a DOCX storyboard. Use the storyboard to settle the sequence and decision request, then adapt the editable slides. The worked example is an illustrative teaching presentation, not a completed client issue or a Canva template.
Write the decision request first, then remove slides that do not support it. Keep the source and status beside every image. After the meeting, transfer the actual decision and unresolved questions to your project record; the fact that a board was shown is not approval.
| Storyboard moment | Useful question | Not settled by that answer |
|---|---|---|
| Brief recap | Are reading, conversation, and storage still the priorities? | Survey dimensions or a changed service scope. |
| Quiet Oak versus Deep Olive | Which material direction should be developed, and why? | Exact products, price, or technical suitability. |
| WR-01 and selections | What needs further investigation before the next review? | Purchasing or construction authorization. |
Review before use
- Do not request blanket approval of a mixed-status package.
- Do not hide unresolved cost or dimensional questions behind polished visuals.
- Do not label concept imagery as completed client work.
Units, source information, and US use
The worked example keeps its original nominal metric dimensions. For a US project, choose and label a primary imperial or metric convention, distinguish item counts from areas, and document any display conversion and rounding. Never relabel metric values as imperial or treat conversion as site verification.
Make it your own
Editable PowerPoint decks include separate image and text elements, two mood-board directions, and decision slides. Choose the blank deck or illustrative example; use the PDF to preview the example and the DOCX companion to plan its story.
