Estimate the cost of turning research into a deck

Turning a pile of research into slides is its own job. This page helps you estimate that work, separate from design, and map a workflow for it.

Research to slides is a real workload

Converting research, notes and analysis into a presentation means deciding what matters, structuring it, and writing it down before any design happens. That conversion is where the time goes.

Estimating it honestly means valuing the analysis and structuring time, not just the final formatting.

Where the cost sits

  • Reading and selecting what matters
  • Structuring findings into a narrative
  • Writing slide-level copy
  • Building charts from the data
  • Revisions as the argument tightens

Estimate the conversion

Set your research and strategy fields to reflect the conversion work, add your internal hours, and the calculator estimates the cost of turning research into a deck.

Any figure mentioned on this page is an example for illustration only, not a market price. Use your own numbers in the calculator for a closer estimate.

Common questions

Why does turning research into slides take so long?
Because the hard part is selection and structure, not formatting. The calculator includes that time so the estimate reflects the real workload.
Can AI turn research into a deck?
AI can draft structure and slide copy from your material; you review and refine. The calculator helps you see how much of the work that could cover.
