What the work actually involves

You receive an image of a business slide — a logistics review, a capacity plan, an SLA dashboard, a process-improvement roadmap — and rebuild it natively in Microsoft PowerPoint. Reconstruction comes first: shapes, tables, charts and text must be faithful, and operations terminology (takt time, OTIF, first-pass yield, P95 response, utilization vs. productivity) must survive intact. Then you improve it: a title that states the finding rather than the topic, an exhibit type that actually fits the message, a hierarchy that an executive can read in fifteen seconds.

The second half of the deliverable is the written log. For each change you explain what you altered and why; for each element you left alone you explain why the original choice was sound. That second category matters more than people expect — the customer is training models to recognize when not to rewrite something, so a log that only celebrates improvements is a weaker artifact than one that defends three original decisions with reasons.

What the platform screens for

micro1's screen is AI-led and conversational. Expect it to test whether your operations background is real (it will ask follow-ups about metrics, definitions, and what you'd do when the source slide's numbers don't reconcile), whether you can articulate a slide-design decision rather than just make one, and whether you can hold a line between unclear and wrong. No AI experience is required or expected; the interest is in your domain judgment rendered in writing.

Logistics

  • Fully remote, contractor engagement, asynchronous work on a per-slide basis.
  • Budget roughly 1–2 hours per slide including the rationale log; volume fluctuates with customer demand.
  • Licensed desktop Microsoft PowerPoint is effectively a requirement — reconstructions must be native, editable files, not exports.
  • Observed rate band for this listing is $150–350/hr; actual offers depend on assessed depth and project, and are not guaranteed.
