Lumenpath Analytics — Board Update

01The Brief

Lumenpath Analytics needed a quarterly board deck that could do something difficult: present strong revenue growth alongside a significant burn increase, and make a credible case for a bridge round — all to a board with two skeptical members who had asked hard questions in the prior quarter.

02The Challenge

Most board decks are built to impress. This one had to be built to withstand scrutiny. The design challenge was creating visual hierarchy that let the CEO present bad news honestly without burying it, while keeping the narrative moving toward the ask.

03The Approach

The deck was structured in eight sections with a clear executive summary at the front. Financial slides were built around single-metric focus — one big number per slide — to prevent data overload. The bridge round proposal section used a three-scenario cash runway chart as its anchor, making the ask feel grounded in analysis rather than desperation. Color was used sparingly: navy and gold throughout, with red reserved only for slides containing risk content.

→The Result

A 72-slide board-ready deck with consistent visual system, clear section architecture, and executive summary slides designed to be legible at a glance on a 55-inch conference room display.
