The Questions They Will Ask
"We, uh, had some weather issues and there was curtailment in Texas and I think O&M was a bit over... let me pull up the spreadsheet..."
"We're $19M below target. Three drivers: $12M curtailment in ERCOT, $8M below-normal wind, $5M O&M overrun. The PPA price escalator offset $6M. We're addressing curtailment with grid upgrades by Q3."

About board communication
QHow does SlideStrike trace underperformance to causes?
We decompose variance into components: weather vs plan, equipment availability, pricing vs forecast, O&M cost overruns, and one-time items. Each component links to the specific assets and events that drove it.
QCan it generate board-ready talking points?
Yes. SlideStrike produces a variance bridge with narrative explanations for each component. You get the story, not just the numbers.
QWhat about forward-looking remediation plans?
SlideStrike suggests corrective actions based on the root cause analysis: asset-level interventions, operational improvements, or portfolio rebalancing. The board sees problems and solutions together.
