PRESENTATION Q&A: QUESTION-TO-EVIDENCE MAP

Authored practice example, not customer data or a product evaluation.

MAIN DECISION
Agree on the next controlled test of a fictional request process.
Twenty employees submitted 60 requests; 42 finished within five minutes.
42 / 60 = 70% of requests, NOT 70% of employees.
No comparable previous-process result, cost saving or rollout date is supplied.

A1 — DEFINITION AND SAMPLE
Likely question: What does the 70% describe?
Current slide number: [complete after deck order is final]
Short answer: 42 of 60 pilot requests met the five-minute threshold; requests are not people and this does not establish wider performance.
Page must contain: numerator, denominator, unit, sample scope; real source/period/start-stop timing definitions when adapted.
Return destination: final main-deck decision slide.

A2 — OPTIONS AND EVIDENCE GAPS
Likely question: Why not keep the existing process?
Current slide number:
Short answer: The alternatives need a comparable assessment. We propose another controlled test, not a claim of superiority.
Page must contain: existing process versus bounded pilot; next action, available evidence and unresolved question for each.
Return destination: final main-deck decision slide.

A3 — ROLLOUT CONDITIONS
Likely question: When can every team use it?
Current slide number:
Short answer: No date is committed. Test scope, evaluation criteria, support and decision ownership need agreement.
Page must contain: actual agreed/proposed/unresolved status for each condition; no invented milestones.
Return destination: final main-deck decision slide.

UNANSWERED QUESTION EXAMPLE
Question: How much time will this save each employee per week?
Supported response: The example measured request completion against a threshold, not employee time saved. A comparable baseline and time-use measure are needed.
Do not infer: time saved, productivity, cost saving or a causal effect.

REUSABLE MAP ROW
Question:
Claim being challenged:
Evidence page label and current number:
One-sentence supported answer:
Source and limitation:
Return destination:
If not answerable: evidence needed, accepted follow-up owner, realistic response date and channel.

RANDOM-ORDER REHEARSAL
1. Ask the rollout question first.
2. Ask what the denominator measures.
3. Ask for an unsupported savings number.
4. Ask why the existing process was not chosen.
5. Ask the presenter to return to the main decision.
Record actual retrieval difficulties and accidental notes exposure; do not pre-fill successful outcomes.

DELIVERY NOTES
Recheck slide numbers after reordering.
Test the actual destination application, display and sharing setup.
Test any navigation links after export/import.
A hidden slide remains inside a PowerPoint file; hiding is not confidentiality.
Make and inspect a separate recipient copy before sharing.
