Fig. 1 Reviewed knowledge from the departments becomes a situation report: summary, signals with evidence, hypothesis and counter-hypothesis, open questions and a PowerPoint file.

The slides

Title slide: “Universe Memory”, the title of the situation report, the organization and the period.
“Zusammenfassung” (summary).
“Signale” (signals) as a list, with the evidence at the bottom.
One “Hypothese” (hypothesis) slide per hypothesis with counter-hypothesis, confidence and evidence.
“Offene Fragen” (open questions) as a list.

Slides for signals and open questions are only created if the situation report contains any. The presentation uses the Universe colors in widescreen format; like the report itself, it is in German.

Who may download

Anyone who may read the situation report can download it, as a draft or approved. The slides only show the titles of evidence that the downloading person may read.

Tips

Download the presentation after approval so that the confirmed version is shown in the meeting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the presentation?

Yes. It is an ordinary PowerPoint file that you can edit freely after downloading.

Does the presentation contain the evidence?

Yes. Signals and every hypothesis name their evidence with the titles of the knowledge entries.
