• WordPress agencies and product teams scale repos faster than standards.
• Inconsistent labels, templates, and release process create delivery risk.
• The objective is not more process; it is reliable flow.

• Frame this as a systems problem, not a tooling trend.
• Position AI tooling as an acceleration force that magnifies drift if governance is weak.

• Keep layout simple: title + 3 bullets + one visual zone.
• Use minimal visuals (one icon, one screenshot, or one simple diagram only).
• Avoid dense process diagrams, nested callouts, and complex animation.
• Keep on-slide text short (roughly 25-40 words total where possible).
• Use high contrast and consistent spacing; prioritise readability over decoration.
