summary
Clear, actionable rules: an 8-step plan to go from idea to timed script and slides, aim for one slide per minute and time with a stopwatch, keep text >20pt and avoid walls of text, include a clear call to action (URL or QR on the final slide), practice demos with a backup recording and never fake a live demo, avoid unexplained TLAs or memes, set Q&A expectations, and rehearse until the flow and timing reliably finish on schedule.
