Case competitions
Case competition deck: structure, slide examples and a fast first draft
Upload the case pack as a PDF or Word file and add your team's analysis. Arcdeck drafts the deck the way consulting judges expect it, answer first, as headlines your team can argue over and fix in minutes, then writes and designs the slides while you work on the numbers.

Try it with an example
Pick one and Arcdeck starts drafting it, or write your own.
- “24-hour university case competition: a European airline wants to grow ancillary revenue by 20% in three years. Recommend a strategy with financials and a rollout plan, 12 slides plus appendix.”Draft this
- “Undergraduate consulting case: should a regional grocery chain launch its own delivery service or partner with an app? 15-minute presentation, 10 minutes of judges' Q&A.”Draft this
- “MBA case competition on entering the Indian market for a mid-size medical device maker: market sizing, entry mode, break-even and key risks.”Draft this
What you get
The answer on slide two
The executive summary states your recommendation and its impact, then situation, three supporting pillars, financials, implementation and risks follow, in the order judges score them.
Storyline first, under time pressure
Agree the headlines as a team in the first hour, split them between members, and let Arcdeck write and design the slides instead of formatting them at 3 a.m.
Numbers judges can check
Market sizing, revenue uplift and break-even become charts and key-number slides, built from the figures your team worked out.
Ready for the Q&A
Add backup headlines after the conclusion for the questions you expect, on assumptions, sensitivities and alternatives, and use the speaker notes to rehearse the answers.
How it works
Step 1
Describe it or upload it
A sentence is enough. Or add PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, a link, or pasted notes.
Step 2
Shape the storyline
Arcdeck drafts the argument as headlines. Reorder, reword or cut them, then pick a template.
Step 3
Get the slides
Every slide is written and designed, with charts and speaker notes. Present, share a link, or export.
