Key Time Allocations

Longest slides (need most time):

1. Subagent Anatomy (8 min) - Walking through code, explaining structure
2. Skill Anatomy (7 min) - Concrete example with explanation
3. Your Dream Team (5 min) - Critical decision point for audience
4. The Punchline (5 min) - Payoff moment, needs to land
5. Skills vs Subagents (5 min) - Clarifying core concepts
6. The Evaluation Loop (5 min) - Practical workflow

Story beats that need room:

• Architecture Guardian catching Java 17 issue (4 min)
• Product Manager ROI calculation (4 min)
• Real Numbers from FLUO (4 min)

Quick transitions:

• Section title cards (0:30-1 min each)
• Visual slides (0:30)
• Bridge slides (1-2 min)

Pacing Strategy

First 20 minutes: Build the problem (context windows)

• Hook them with relatable pain
• Show the constraint clearly

Minutes 20-45: Tell the story (dream team saves the day)

• Drama: almost shipped bad code
• Resolution: team caught it
• Payoff: 3 days vs 12 weeks

Minutes 45-75: Teach the specifics (how to build it)

• Slow down here, give them copy-able templates
• This is what they'll use on Monday

Minutes 75-95: Wrap up and context (comparison, recap)

• Tie it together
• Answer "where do I start?"

Minutes 95-110: Q&A

• Reserve 15 minutes minimum
• Likely to run over if audience is engaged

---

Emergency Adjustments

If running long:

• Skip slide 26 (FLUO's Results) - covered in slide 25
• Shorten Q&A to 10 minutes
• Reduce Subagent/Skill Anatomy by 2 min each

If running short:

• Extend Q&A
• Add war stories during Part 2
• Deep dive on Skills vs Subagents table

Critical slides (never skip):

• #8: Progressive Disclosure
• #14: Architecture Guardian (Java 17)
• #17: Product Manager (ROI)
• #18: The Punchline
• #22-23: Anatomy slides
• #28: Skills vs Subagents

---

Checkpoints

• 30 minutes: Should be at slide 14 (Architecture Guardian)
• 60 minutes: Should be at slide 22 (Subagent Anatomy)
• 90 minutes: Should be at slide 30 (The Real Story)
• 95 minutes: Start Q&A

If you're behind at any checkpoint, tighten up the next section. If ahead, add stories or extend Q&A.
