This very much reeks of government kickbacks.

But having given quite a few presentations to the government: The pop culture references are what you want. You are talking to idiots, many of which were high school dropouts who realized they could get a commission after surviving a few years of enlistment, who are surrounded by yes-men who are required to polish the knob of their superiors because they all just love America so much.

It is very much a balancing act of technical and puff. You want to make sure that the people who make decisions NEVER feel confused. While having diagrams and supplementary information that answer the analysts’ questions.

Basically: imagine that you are giving a presentation to Michael Scott. And Jim and Dwight were bad conduct discharged years ago and everyone left will actively say he is a genius. You aren’t leading with the data on long term usage of pain medication and stimulants.
