Outline a swipeable LinkedIn carousel from a single idea

CORE IDEA
A 4-step framework for triaging inbound feature requests without a PM

AUDIENCE
Early-stage founders who are still doing product management themselves

ROUGH SLIDE COUNT
8

SPECIFICS THAT MUST APPEAR (data, steps, examples)
The 4 triage buckets: fix now, roadmap, decline with reason, needs more data

DESIGN CONSTRAINTS
Making slides in Canva, text and simple icons only, no custom illustration

WHY EVERY SLIDE HAS TO EARN ITS OWN SWIPE
This will be uploaded as a PDF through LinkedIn's native document-post feature, which renders as a swipeable carousel directly in the feed. Each swipe is a fresh decision point where a reader can stop — unlike a single post's one-time scroll-past risk, a carousel loses a share of its audience at every slide, so a slide that doesn't clearly earn the next swipe is where the carousel actually dies, even if slide one was strong.

STRUCTURE
COVER SLIDE (slide 1) — a hook line that works exactly the way a post's first line does: a claim, a number, or a real tension, never a title-card phrasing like "5 Tips for X" or "A Thread on Y." The cover has to make someone want to see slide 2 specifically, not just describe what's coming.

BODY SLIDES (slide 2 through second-to-last) — exactly one idea per slide. Each gets a short slide title under 8 words and 1-3 lines of supporting text — no slide should require a reader to actually read a paragraph to get the point; if it does, that's two ideas fighting for one slide, so split it into two.

FINAL SLIDE — the single most important takeaway, stated once, plainly, plus a soft call to action: follow, save, or a genuine question — never a generic "Like and share!" disconnected from what the carousel actually delivered.

FOR EVERY SLIDE, INCLUDE ONE DESIGN NOTE
A short visual direction — "big number as the sole visual anchor," "before/after split down the middle," "one quote, nothing else on the slide" — so this reads as a designed sequence rather than slides of bullet points pasted into a template. If two consecutive slides would use the same design note, vary at least one of them so the sequence doesn't visually flatten.

OVERLOAD CHECK
After drafting, review every slide against the one-idea rule. Flag any slide that's actually trying to carry two ideas at once — a step plus a caveat, a number plus an unrelated tip — and split it into two slides instead of leaving it dense.

CONSTRAINTS FROM SPECIFICS AND DESIGN
Every fact, step, or example named in The 4 triage buckets: fix now, roadmap, decline with reason, needs more data must appear on some slide — do not drop one because it doesn't fit the slide count cleanly; adjust the slide count instead and say so. Respect Making slides in Canva, text and simple icons only, no custom illustration on what's actually producible (for example, text and simple icons only, no custom illustration) rather than suggesting a design note that isn't achievable with the stated tools.

OUTPUT
A slide-by-slide list: slide number, title, supporting text, design note. Close with the overload check results and, if the ideal slide count differs from 8, the adjusted count and why.
