The Pre-Flight Bench

Three checks stand between a deck and a bad ten minutes: can everyone in the room actually read it, is every borrowed image credited and licensed, and can you still give the speech when the screen goes dark? Run all three — drag the colour sliders until the contrast passes, build a credit that survives inspection, then break your own contingency plan on purpose.
