Act as my presentation designer. Create an eight-slide, editable PowerPoint deck from source-notes.md and brand.txt. This is a training example about the fictional company Northstar; label it accordingly.

Audience: operations leadership. The decision is whether to approve a two-week internal support pilot.

Read both files before designing. Build these eight slides: decision, current process, bottleneck, proposed workflow, pilot scope, measurement, risks, and next step. Keep one main point per slide. Separate proposals from measured results. Do not invent savings, customer quotes, baseline measurements, names, or evidence.

Follow the colors, typography, spacing, and restrained style in brand.txt. Keep text and diagrams editable. Use simple shapes for the workflow. Add speaker notes that point to the relevant part of source-notes.md.

Save northstar-pilot.pptx and a PDF preview in output/. Render and inspect every slide. Fix clipped text, overlaps, weak contrast, and text too small to read. Check that all eight slides exist and disclose any export or editing limitations. Finish with links to the files.
