Company Profile

A single slide that answers "what is this company" for a reader with thirty seconds. Four quadrants, all four full: overview, financial summary, share price or valuation chart, key facts. This is the front page of a pitch book and the first page of a diligence pack, and it is the one slide in a deck allowed to be a document, because nobody presents from it, they read it off the page.

Build it with the pptx skill. Its geometry, palette, build-script discipline and verification scripts all apply unchanged, and this file only describes what goes inside that frame. Reach for html-report instead when the answer wants two pages of prose, and comps-analysis when the question is how the company prices against its peers rather than what it is.

Evidence labels, source tiers, staleness, the readiness posture and the intake limits: .agents/skills/research-conventions/SKILL.md, read before the first deliverable.

Scope

The profile is a baseline: what is true about this company, sourced, on one page. It is not a recommendation, and it holds no view. The moment the work turns into a thesis, a scenario set, a valuation argument or a call on the stock, it has stopped being a profile: finish the baseline, then hand off and say so. .agents/skills/initiating-coverage/SKILL.md owns the thesis, .agents/skills/comps-analysis/SKILL.md owns relative valuation, .agents/skills/earnings-preview/SKILL.md owns the setup into a print. Expanding the slide to carry a view is the failure this rule exists to catch, because a one-pager that argues reads as fact to everyone downstream of it.

Workflow

1. Scope it before researching

Confirm the entity first, then ask what the slide is for.
