# Riverbend Saturday-hours decision deck

Designed example · synthetic data. This is an authored illustration, not a recorded agent run. All organizations, people and figures are fictional.

Editable outline accompanying [PowerPoint deck](deck.pptx). Six slides for an eight-minute discussion. The data are fictional.

## Slide 1 — Continue a bounded pilot before expanding

Decision requested: extend everywhere, continue a measured pilot, or stop.
Recommendation: continue only if directors approve resources and a comparable measurement plan.

**Speaker notes:** This is a recommendation, not an approved decision. The source provides no all-branch budget.

**Source:** research_notes.md §R4; audience.md

## Slide 2 — The evidence covers one branch’s visits

Eastfield: 12 Saturdays in each year, Apr–Jun 2025 and 2026.
Westbank: visit export missing. Two branches participated in the pilot.

**Speaker notes:** The denominator is 12 Saturdays per year at Eastfield, not all network visitors or every pilot branch.

## Slide 3 — Visits rose 15.2%; the counter change limits confidence

Eastfield average visits: 276 → 318 per Saturday.
42 more average visits; 318 / 276 − 1 = 15.2%.
New counter installed 3 March 2026; no calibration bridge.

**Speaker notes:** 2025 sum 3,312 / 12 = 276. 2026 sum 3,816 / 12 = 318. Do not infer that hours caused this change.

## Slide 4 — Staffing cost is known for only one pilot branch

Eastfield: $240 incremental cost per Saturday × 12 = $2,880.
Westbank: cost unavailable. No all-branch estimate.

**Speaker notes:** Costs are USD for Apr–Jun 2026 at Eastfield. Do not extrapolate an expansion budget or ROI from this one branch.

## Slide 5 — Three unknowns block an expansion decision

Comparable visit measurement after the counter change.
Westbank visits and costs.
All-branch capacity and approved resources.

**Speaker notes:** These are decision-changing omissions, not evidence that the pilot failed. Owners and deadlines were not supplied.

**Source:** research_notes.md §R1–R4

## Slide 6 — Expand only after measurement and cost gaps close

Proposed next step: directors approve a bounded continuation with matched counters and complete costs.
Change the recommendation if comparable visits show no useful gain, staffing is unsustainable, or resources are declined.

**Speaker notes:** No new period, owner or budget is committed by this deck. Ask directors to choose the next measurement plan rather than approve unsupported expansion.
