B. Design System Integration:

• Design icon style library (20–25 custom icons: services, processes, values, data points)

• All placeholders properly configured (auto-resize, overflow handling)
• Master slide inheritance properly structured (no broken links)
2. Company Profile Deck (12–15 slides)
A strategic narrative presentation covering:
Slide Structure: (guidelines- not strict content and design)
Section Slides Content Requirements
Opening 2 Title slide + "Why Ithamr" positioning statement
Foundation 2 Company timeline (visual) + Mission & Vision
Service Portfolio 5–6 One slide per service with: icon, value proposition (2–3 sentences), typical client outcomes, differentiators
Credibility 2 Certifications/partnerships + anonymized case metrics

Content Treatment:
• We provide drafted written content; you improve the content according to most effective ternds.
• Suggest reordering/restructuring if narrative flow is weak
• Flag content gaps or redundancies
• Bilingual compatibility: layouts must accommodate Arabic text expansion (typically 20–30% longer than English)
Tone Execution:
• Authoritative but approachable: technical competence without arrogance
• Data-forward: numbers, frameworks, processes over abstract claims
• Regionally appropriate: understated elegance, no Silicon Valley "disruption" aesthetics
• RFP-ready: easily adaptable for government tender submissions
