Use `document_plan` plus `pptx_create` as the default path for business decks. Do not start with ad-hoc slide arrays unless the user already gave a very detailed deck structure.

## Default workflow
1. Review the workspace for existing presentation files, reports, or templates.
2. Use `document_plan` with `document_type: presentation` to define the storyline first.
3. Build a deck brief with `audience`, `objective`, `decision_ask`, and optional `storyline`.
4. Generate the deck with `pptx_create`.
5. Prefer `template_pack` or a bundled template (`basic100`, `core100`, etc.) when the deck needs branded polish.
6. If the returned quality summary is weak, revise the storyline and regenerate the same file instead of stopping.
7. Return the file path together with the storyline and quality summary.

## Quality rules
- Keep one message per slide.
- Prefer 3-5 concise bullets, not long paragraphs.
- Use a message headline, not a vague topic label.
- Include `Executive Summary`, `Recommendation`, and `Roadmap` in most business decks.
- Add `Appendix` or `Evidence` when the deck is 6 slides or longer.
- Use comparison, chart, KPI, or evidence slides when data exists.

## Useful layouts
- `title`
- `executive_summary`
- `comparison`
- `recommendation`
- `roadmap`
- `kpi_dashboard`
- `chart`
- `table`
- `issue_tree`
- `before_after`
- `decision_matrix`
- `risk_heatmap`
- `benefit_waterfall`
- `operating_model`
- `appendix_evidence`
