You have: 2 near-misses reported this term, a 140-signature petition, and an estimated £24,000 cost. Outline 8 slides — for each give a short title and the one point that slide must land. The ask (a feasibility study, not the money) must arrive by slide 3, not the end.",
      "output": "# Parish Council Presentation: Zebra Crossing for St Mary's Primary\n\n## Slide-by-Slide Plan\n\n**Slide 1 — \"A Crossing Before a Crisis\"**\nLand this point: *Two children came close to being hit this term — we are presenting tonight so the third time isn't a tragedy.*\n\n**Slide 2 — \"140 Families Are Asking for Help\"**\nLand this point: *This isn't one parent's complaint; 140 residents signed a petition, showing broad, settled community consensus that the road outside St Mary's is unacceptably dangerous.*\n\n**Slide 3 — \"What We're Asking Tonight\"**\nLand this point: *We are not asking the council to commit £24,000 tonight — we are asking you to commission a feasibility study so the decision can be made on evidence, not delayed by the absence of it.*\n\n**Slide 4 — \"What's Happening on This Road\"**\nLand this point: *A brief site description (speed, traffic volume at drop-off/pick-up, lack of any controlled crossing within 200 m) makes clear this is a genuine infrastructure gap, not a perception problem.*\n\n**Slide 5 — \"The Two Near-Miss Incidents\"**\nLand this point: *Concrete, dated accounts of each near-miss — with witness details available — prove the risk is documented and escalating, not anecdotal.*\n\n**Slide 6 — \"The Cost in Context\"**\nLand this point: *At roughly £24,000, a zebra crossing is one of the lowest-cost interventions the council can make, and comparable parishes have funded them through a mix of county highways grants, S106 contributions, and community infrastructure levy — so funding routes exist.*\n\n**Slide 7 — \"What Happens If We Wait\"**\nLand this point: *Every school term without action is roughly 380 unprotected road crossings per child — delay is itself a decision, and it is the riskiest option on the table.*\n\n**Slide 8 — \"The Next Step Is Small — Please Take It\"**\nLand this point: *Restate the single, concrete ask: a motion tonight to request a feasibility study, with a named officer and a reporting-back date, so momentum is locked in before everyone leaves the room.*\n\n---\n\n## Delivery Notes\n\n- **Timing**: Slides 1–3 in the first 3 minutes (problem → people → ask). Slides 4–7 across 5 minutes of supporting evidence. Slide 8 in the final 2 minutes as a clean close.\n- **Why the ask is early**: Council members listen differently once they know you're requesting a study, not a chequebook. Everything after Slide 3 becomes evidence *supporting a decision they already feel is low-risk to approve*.\n- **Leave behind**: A one-page summary with the petition count, incident dates, cost estimate, and the exact wording of the motion you'd like proposed.",

Won't senior leaders just expense their parking while the rest of us pay? – That's a legitimate risk, so the proposal explicitly removes parking as a grade-based perk and makes every employee, including executives, subject to the same charge.\n\n3. Have you actually costed this, because one day of leave for the whole company is far more expensive than a car park generates? – The modelling shows the parking revenue covers roughly 60 percent of the cost, with the remainder offset by reduced absenteeism and the measurable retention savings from even one additional leave day.\n\n4. You're really just cutting a benefit and dressing it up as a new one — why should we trust that? – Because the net financial value of an extra leave day exceeds the average commuter's parking cost by a significant margin, so for the majority of staff this is genuinely a better deal, not spin.\n\n5. What happens when this doesn't raise enough and you quietly scrap the leave day but keep charging for parking? – The proposal includes a two-year sunset clause that automatically restores free parking if the additional leave day is withdrawn, so one cannot survive without the other.",

      "output": "# Father-of-the-Bride Speech Plan\n\n## Total time: ~5 minutes\n\n---\n\n## Running Order\n\n### 1. Opening — The Car Keys Story (0:00–1:00)\n**Why this opens:** It's light, endearing, and immediately wins the room with a laugh. It paints a picture of your daughter as a small child, which grounds the audience in the fact that *you've known her longest*. It also sets a warm, anecdotal tone — signalling this will be a personal speech, not a formal one. Crucially, it's funny without mocking her; a six-year-old posting keys down a drain is universally charming.\n\n- Set the scene briefly (her age, where you were, the moment of realisation).\n- Use it to introduce a theme: *she has always done things with absolute conviction — even when the rest of us weren't quite ready for it.*\n\n### 2. The Nurse Story — Her Character Revealed (1:00–2:30)\n**Why this sits in the middle (the heart of the speech):** This is the emotional anchor. It moves from childhood comedy to adult substance. It shows who she really is: determined, brave, compassionate.\n\n- Briefly mention that a teacher once told her she wasn't academic. (Keep it factual and brief — no bitterness, no naming the teacher. The point isn't to settle a score; it's to show what she did next.)\n- Describe her decision at 29 to retrain as a nurse — the late nights studying, the doubt she may have felt, the pride you felt watching her.\n- Connect it to the theme from the opening: that same conviction she had at six, now directed at something extraordinary.\n- Acknowledge what nursing really means — caring for strangers at their most vulnerable — and say what that tells you about her heart.\n\n### 3. Turning to the Groom — The 200-Mile Drive (2:30–3:45)\n**Why this comes here:** You've established who your daughter is; now you show the audience that the groom *recognised* it too — and acted on it decisively. His story mirrors her conviction, which is why they work.\n\n- Tell the story of the night they met and the 200-mile drive through snow.\n- Frame it with warmth and respect: *that told me everything I needed to know about him.*\n- Welcome him genuinely into the family. Say something about what you've seen in him since — kindness, humour, steadiness, whatever is true.\n\n### 4. Reflection and Toast (3:45–5:00)\n**Why the drive story closes the narrative arc (just before the toast):** It's the most romantic story of the three, and it belongs nearest the ending because it points *forward* — toward their future together. The speech moves chronologically and emotionally: childhood → adversity → love → future. The 200-mile drive is the moment two lives joined, so it naturally leads into the toast.\n\n- Briefly draw the threads together: conviction, courage, love.\n- Address your daughter directly for a moment.\n- Address them both.\n- Deliver the closing lines and raise a glass.\n\n---\n\n## Final Two Sentences (written in full)\n\n*\"So if there's one thing I know about these two, it's this: when something matters to them, no distance is too far, no obstacle is too great, and no drain is safe. Ladies and gentlemen — please raise your glasses to the bride and groom.\"*\n\n---\n\n## Notes on Tone\n- **The teacher reference:** Keep it to one sentence. Don't name them, don't dwell. The story is about your daughter's resilience, not someone else's failure.\n- **The car keys:** If she's embarrassed by it, a quick loving glance at her will make the room laugh *with* her.\n- **The groom:** He should come out of this speech feeling welcomed and admired, not like a supporting character. Give his story genuine weight.",
