Example brief
The core-platform migration has several open issues, including a high-risk legacy batch window that may exceed the cutover target, a high-severity CRM API throttling issue, and a high-severity dependency on the vendor API v3 sandbox by 20 Jun. There are also medium-severity risks, such as the EU data-retention interpretation and the payment freeze window. The mitigation plans include running a parallel-load rehearsal by 17 Jun, validating the retention rule by 12 Jun, and agreeing on a rate-limit exception for the CRM API. The takeaway is that risks are mitigable, but the vendor API dependency needs to be escalated now.

Frequently asked questions
How do I render the RAID log 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.
