18 hours.
The data isn't in. Marcus hasn't responded. The timeline slide is wrong. The panic is starting. Same story, every week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Thursday panic is eternal (and how to end it)
QWhy does Thursday panic happen every single week?
Because you promise yourself "next week I'll start earlier" but the week fills up with actual work, and by Thursday afternoon the deck still isn't done. SlideStrike eliminates Thursday panic by generating decks in seconds, not days.
QHow much time do I waste in Thursday panic mode?
Most project managers spend 4+ hours every Thursday in stressed scramble mode: late-night deck building, waiting for blocked data, rushing through quality checks. That's 200+ hours per year of pure panic.
QCan I really avoid Thursday panic entirely?
Yes. With SlideStrike, you upload data and get a complete status deck in 30 seconds. Thursday becomes just another day - no panic, no late nights, no weekend spillover.
QWhat if I'm blocked waiting for data from teammates?
SlideStrike can work with partial data and flag what's missing. You get a nearly-complete deck instantly, then quick updates when final numbers arrive. No more Thursday afternoons chasing Marcus for Q4 metrics.
QDoes the panic stop if I use SlideStrike?
Completely. The Thursday 3:47pm dread moment disappears when your deck is always ready. You go from "17 hours until the meeting and the deck isn't done" to "deck is done, I can actually prepare for the meeting."
