Turn a research report into a deck and a one-page infographic

Step 1: Start from the finished, verified research reportWord

Convert only after you've checked the underlying research — reformatting doesn't fix an unverified claim, it just makes it look more official.

Step 2: Ask for the specific output formats you needCopilot

Name both the format and its audience in the prompt — an executive deck should emphasize the recommendation and the data that supports it, while a wide-distribution infographic needs the single headline finding simplified for people with no prior context.

Asking for "a deck and an infographic" with no further direction produces two versions of the same generic summary.

Prompt idea:

Convert this research report into two things: a 6-slide executive deck emphasizing the recommendation and the supporting data, and a one-page infographic version for wider team distribution.

Step 3: Check nothing got distorted in the compressionPowerPointWord

Turning a detailed report into a one-pager means cutting most of the detail — confirm what's left is still accurate on its own, without the surrounding context.

Step 4: Keep the source report linkedPowerPointWord

Anyone who wants the full citations and detail should be able to get to the original report from the summary formats.

Check the work

• Read the compressed formats as if you hadn't seen the full report — do they still make an accurate claim on their own?
• Confirm key caveats or uncertainty from the original report weren't dropped in the shorter formats.
• Link back to the source report from both derived formats.
