| **Audience** | "DoD program managers", "VC partners", "internal team" | General professional |
| **Brand identity** | Logo colors, company name, client palette | Palette defaults |

| **Density** | "dense and evidence-heavy", "keep it simple", specific L1/L2/L3 | Infer from audience + objective |
| **Data** | Tables, metrics, timelines, comparisons, evaluations | None. Build from research or request more |
