Validation

Before completing:

• Slide count matches duration

• One key message per slide

• Speaker notes for every slide

• Engagement every 10-15 minutes

• Clear CTA included

• Visual suggestions provided

• Timing adds up correctly

Error Handling

• Topic too broad: Help narrow to 3-5 key points for the duration.

• No clear goal: Ask for desired attendee action post-webinar.

• Too much content: Prioritize; suggest follow-up content for extras.

• No visuals available: Provide detailed descriptions for designer.

• First-time presenter: Add more detailed speaker notes and timing cues.
