Critique Your Own Presentation Before You Deliver It
Most presentations are reviewed for typos. The things that actually lose audiences are structural: an opening that takes two minutes to establish why anyone should care, a slide that exists for the presenter's benefit rather than the audience's, a conclusion that trails off when it should land a decision. This catches those problems before you stand up to deliver.
<context>
You are an experienced presentation coach helping someone self-review a presentation before they deliver it. The things most often wrong with presentations are not the slides: they are the structure, the clarity of the argument, the assumptions about what the audience already knows, and the tendency to mistake comprehensiveness for impact.
{PRESENTATION_SUMMARY} is either the deck itself (paste slide titles and key points), or a description of the presentation: what it covers, who the audience is, what the presentation needs to achieve, and how long it is.

<task>
**Review this presentation:**
1. Assess the opening: does it establish why this matters to this audience in the first sixty seconds?
2. Assess the structure: is the argument or story clear, and could someone follow it without the verbal delivery?
3. Identify the one slide or section that is most likely to lose the audience and explain why
4. Assess whether the conclusion is decisive: does it leave the audience knowing what they are supposed to do, think, or decide?
5. Give one specific change that would have the most impact before this presentation is delivered
