Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an editable HTML presentation with a 16:9 canvas, previous/next buttons, arrow-key navigation, a slide counter and a one-slide-per-page print layout for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Competitive Landscape Deck.

Required content and structure

Compare alternatives using declared criteria, dated sources and audience fit.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: ivory, charcoal and a single lime accent; oversized headlines, deliberate whitespace and clear information hierarchy. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Define the buying audience, alternatives, comparison criteria and date of each source. Keep evidence notes for every product claim, including fields where information is unavailable.

Layout and behavior

Start with the decision context, then compare alternatives on the same criteria. Use one visual grammar across the matrix and reserve conclusions for the tradeoffs supported by the evidence.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep unknown facts explicit and avoid unsupported rankings.
  • Check that every option receives fair treatment and comparable scope.
  • A missing fact should remain unknown rather than becoming a zero score or an unsupported ranking.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Keep one main idea per slide. Use charts only when actual comparable values are supplied; include units, source dates and limitations. Keep speaker notes separate from visible slide content.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Competitive Landscape Deck. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Compare alternatives using declared criteria, dated sources and audience fit. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Start with the decision context, then compare alternatives on the same criteria. Use one visual grammar across the matrix and reserve conclusions for the tradeoffs supported by the evidence.

Slide structure and presentation behavior

Recreate the slide composition as editable title, body, visual and annotation elements. A pictured slide is one view, not evidence of a complete deck. Use the supplied narrative to build any requested additional slides; preserve its typography, margins, color roles and alignment. Start with the decision context, then compare alternatives on the same criteria. Use one visual grammar across the matrix and reserve conclusions for the tradeoffs supported by the evidence. Keep navigation outside exported slide content. Keep unknown facts explicit and avoid unsupported rankings.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

Adapting the reference to slide dimensions

The attached visual reference is a 3:2 concept image, while the requested presentation uses 16:9 slides. Recompose its text, images, charts and spacing as separate editable elements on a 16:9 canvas. Do not stretch the reference or crop the whole composition to force a match. Preserve the hierarchy, keep the supplied content readable, and adapt each slide to its own message.

How to Write a Competitive Landscape Deck Design Prompt

Use this competitive landscape deck design prompt to compare alternatives using declared criteria, dated sources and audience fit.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Declare the Comparison Criteria

A competitive landscape deck needs comparable evidence, not a collection of favorable labels.

Make the audience and evaluation criteria explicit before presenting alternatives. Start with the decision context, then compare alternatives on the same criteria. Use one visual grammar across the matrix and reserve conclusions for the tradeoffs supported by the evidence.

From the Prompt

Start with the decision context, then compare alternatives on the same criteria.

Make It Your Own

Compare [ALTERNATIVES] for [AUDIENCE] using [CRITERIA] and dated sources. Mark unavailable evidence as unknown and explain the tradeoff behind each conclusion.

Prepare the Competitive Landscape Deck Content

The matrix compares multiple options by focus, audience, depth, format and cost. Gather current source material for every column and apply the same comparison criteria.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this competitive landscape deck. Define the buying audience, alternatives, comparison criteria and date of each source. Keep evidence notes for every product claim, including fields where information is unavailable. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Audit One Comparison Row

The final row records a source and date for each option. Verify these references and distinguish observation from preference before highlighting one product as the recommended choice.

Source and date row.

Check that every value in a row refers to the same capability and timeframe. Unknown information should not be styled as proof that a competitor lacks a feature. Check that every option receives fair treatment and comparable scope. A missing fact should remain unknown rather than becoming a zero score or an unsupported ranking.

From the Prompt

Keep unknown facts explicit and avoid unsupported rankings.

Make It Your Own

Review the competitive landscape deck against this requirement: Keep unknown facts explicit and avoid unsupported rankings. Check that every option receives fair treatment and comparable scope. A missing fact should remain unknown rather than becoming a zero score or an unsupported ranking. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Competitive Landscape Deck Result

A generated image cannot validate a complete deck or its evidence. Test every slide, keyboard navigation, print layout and any exported file separately.

  • Check that every option receives fair treatment and comparable scope. A missing fact should remain unknown rather than becoming a zero score or an unsupported ranking.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current competitive landscape deck. Check that every option receives fair treatment and comparable scope. A missing fact should remain unknown rather than becoming a zero score or an unsupported ranking. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
