Threshold explanation gauge
Maturity score with explained red/amber/green bands.
Try in PlaygroundExample brief
Show our enterprise security control maturity at 58 out of 100, which lands in the 'Defined' band, against a 2026 target of 80. Explain each of the four maturity bands from 'Reactive' to 'Optimized' so the audience understands what the score actually means.

How do I render the Threshold explanation gauge template?
Send a POST to /v1/render/auto with a brief, or call create_slide via MCP with the structured intent shown below. The response includes an editable .pptx, a PDF, and a PNG. $0.05 per slide.
Does an AI write the slide?
No. SlideForge renders deterministically from a structured intent — no LLM draws the slide, so text is never mangled or fabricated. The optional brief path uses a router to pick the pattern, then renders deterministically.
Can I customize the colors and fonts?
Yes. Pass a theme_id to apply a built-in or custom brand theme; the layout stays the same.
