About SlideLegend

SlideLegend explains public documents and teaches the skills needed to read and present them. It has three parts: the briefings, the Academy and the Lab.

How a briefing is made

Each briefing covers one document: a handbook, a report, a standard, a court filing or a study. It names the publisher and the year, summarises what the document says in plain language, pulls out the figures that matter and explains how the document reads today, including what has been updated or replaced since. The full text of a document is not reproduced. Where the publisher still offers the original, the briefing links to it.

Figures are taken from the document itself or from the sources named in the text. Where a detail could not be confirmed, it is left out rather than estimated.

Narrated versions

The spoken briefings and lesson walk-throughs are read by a synthetic voice generated from the written script. The transcript under each player is the exact script, so the audio and the text always say the same thing.

Records

Records are short catalogue entries for further documents: what each one is, who published it and where the original can be found. They describe a document; they do not replace it.

The Academy and the Lab

Academy lessons cover choosing charts, designing slides, reading reports and making documents accessible. The Lab holds small games and tools that train the same skills. Games keep scores only in the browser that plays them; nothing is sent anywhere.

Corrections

Briefings are updated when a publisher releases a new edition or when an error is found. The date at the top of each page shows when it was published here.
