Hypothesis: Custom image-generation hero art will outperform hand-built vector atmospherics for covers and section dividers.
Result: Biggest first-impression lift. The generated scene gives the cover depth and buyer context that hand-drawn vectors could not fake.
Hypothesis: The best deck pipeline is generated visual art as the slide plate plus editable PowerPoint text, tables, and business copy.
Result: Best overall. Generated image plate handles polish; native PowerPoint text keeps business copy editable.
Hypothesis: Image-generated interface component art can make native PowerPoint structures feel more like product design than office shapes.
Result: Much improved over hand-built components, but still needs native overlays for exact content and hierarchy.
Hypothesis: A generated spatial workflow scene beats hand-drawn arrows for operational training sequences.
Result: Strong. The workflow map becomes a real training-world scene instead of a diagram of arrows.
Hypothesis: Generated HUD scenes are better than vector HUD doodles for simulator/product slides, as long as exact labels are overlaid natively.
Result: Strong for simulator slides. Generated HUD imagery feels authentic; labels should stay native to avoid model text errors.
Hypothesis: Custom restrained imagery can lift light executive slides without making them feel like generic consulting templates.
Result: Good interior-slide treatment. Custom photography-style imagery keeps executive pages warm without overloading them.
Hypothesis: Image-generated data-dashboard environments make assessment slides feel like a real product, then native PowerPoint keeps numbers editable.
Result: Strong product feel. Generated dashboard ambience sells assessment better than plain charts alone.
Hypothesis: Generated scenario-world art makes module cards feel tangible and sales-ready instead of like simple rectangles.
Result: Good scenario-module visual. The generated world makes training scenarios feel tangible and expandable.
Hypothesis: Even client-minimal slides improve with custom generated art, but the style still risks losing ForgeFX distinctiveness.
Result: Better than the previous minimal version, but still least ForgeFX-owned; useful only when client restraint is mandatory.
