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

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need to export these slides as a PDF to send to procurement. Export the current presentation as a PDF, include hidden slides, ensure the handout layout is one slide per page with speaker notes included below each slide, and name the file Procurement_Proposal_July9.pdf. Ladder":"L1"

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send the PDF to procurement, make it approval‑ready: put the savings figure on the first page, ensure pagination matches the page references in the contract, embed readable fonts so layout won’t shift, and flag any slides that will be split across pages because of long notes. Ladder":"L2"

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+The PDF I sent split a notes page across two pages
I exported the deck to PDF and procurement says a slide’s notes were split across two pages, which makes the approval confusing. I don’t know which export setting caused it. Should I change the handout layout, adjust the notes spacing, or export differently; what’s the fastest fix that guarantees each slide’s notes stay together? Ladder":"L5"

Become — change the pattern
+PDF exports repeatedly mess up layout for reviewers
Every PDF export ends up with layout issues that force a last‑minute fix for reviewers. Where am I consistently going wrong in preparing files for external review and what two habits will prevent these recurring export problems — one in authoring, one in export settings? Ladder":"L6"
Pasted it? When the reply comes back, push once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part. — Did this prompt help?

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.
