Big-number story

Make one number the slide so the implication cannot be missed.

Related: KPI / metric row · Annotated chart

When to use

Use when a single number is the story. Do not use for four KPIs (kpi-row). Do not use Cloud architecture.

Guidelines

Hero number, then one sentence. Editorial board. One accent.

Example

Midwest DC

4.1h

Dock dwell, not scanning, is why same-day still misses.

Trailing 4 weeks · Harbor Wave 0

4.1h hero, implication in the title. Steal scale contrast, not clip-art.

Rules

  1. One hero number, large.
  2. Title states what the number means for the decision.
  3. Family is Infographic / editorial.
  4. No table on this slide.
