The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+The board deck must adopt the approved corporate theme. Apply the company's board theme across all 14 slides so colors, title bars, and bullet styles match the theme, and verify slide masters align. Don't alter slide order or content; report any slides that require manual adjustment after applying the theme.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I circulate the board deck to the CEO, make the theme application smoother for reviewers: surface any slides where logos, charts, or imported graphics failed to inherit the theme, standardise header placement to the theme's grid, and flag slides where contrast or chart colors now obscure data so I can either edit the content or swap visuals.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I applied the corporate theme and several charts lost their colors.
I just applied the company board theme and some imported charts reverted to unreadable colors and the logo shifted off the slide. The CEO wants a clean PDF by Friday. I can't tell whether the charts are linked from spreadsheets or embedded as images. What's the likely cause and the fastest triage to make the deck consistent before I escalate to design?

Become — change the pattern
+Applying themes keeps breaking visuals and logos across decks.
Over multiple decks, applying the corporate theme scrambles charts, shifts logos, and creates inconsistent headers that cost hours to fix. I need a small process to stop this happening every time we standardise a deck. What habit or checklist should I enforce so theme application doesn't require a design rescue after every use?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
