# Investment-banking pitch book — layout conventions Use as a self-check before finishing **`index.html`**. ## Every slide - **Masthead**: advisory bank name + project codename + section label + page x/y. - **Confidentiality**: visible treatment ("Strictly Confidential — Discussion Materials" or firm-standard ribbon). - **Footer**: page fraction, optional run id / skill trace for internal QA. ## Tables - Financial figures use **tabular numerals** (monospace or `font-feature-settings: "tnum"`). - Multiples use **×** (not `x`) where appropriate. - **Median / mean** summary rows differ visually from data rows (italic or tint). - **Subject company** row highlighted consistently. ## Football field - Shared horizontal axis across methodologies; **current price** as vertical tick. - Range labels right-aligned; methodology labels left. ## DCF sensitivity - Highlight **base case** cell (WACC × terminal growth). - State rounding rules in a foot line. ## Strategic alternatives matrix - Four options; **recommended** option uses inverted emphasis (e.g. dark fill). - Each cell: headline, indicative value band, **for / against** bullets. ## Disclaimer slide - Prepared for whom, sources, limitations, no reliance for transaction decisions.
