A pipeline that owns the keynote, not the slides.

The home page gives you a glance. This is the walk-through. Marquee runs a Fortune-50 keynote through ten stages, concept to debrief, on one sourced ground truth. Here is what each stage produces, and the surfaces the chief of staff actually works in.

The core loop The ten stages Shape the story Stay grounded Survive show day What it is not
The core loop

One ground truth writes the keynote and audits it.

Most tools generate, then hope. Marquee keeps generation and verification on the same versioned source, the Context Hub, so a number can only reach the stage if a human sourced it first, and a number that changes lights up every place it landed.

01 · Source

The Hub holds the truth

Every fact, quote, and figure is a human-verified, versioned chip with provenance. Nothing enters by accident.

02 · Generate

Drafts cite the Hub

Each stage drafts from that source in the executive’s voice. An unsourced claim is flagged, never invented.

03 · Audit

The same Hub checks it

The consistency and compliance passes verify the draft against the very source it was written from. Drift gets named.

IF A NUMBER IS NOT IN THE HUB, IT IS NOT IN THE KEYNOTE.  /  CHANGE ONE FACT → EVERY DRIFTED BEAT FLAGGED
The ten stages

A keynote is a project, in four movements.

Each stage has a deterministic ready-check, an AI-assisted draft surface, a human approval state, and a versioned artifact. Structure is deterministic; prose is AI; the human approves every seam. Status, not progress.

Movement I

Shape the story

01Conceptcandidate ideas, ranked
02Strategythe arc, the through-line
03Storyboardbeats, runtime, the S.T.A.R.

From a brief to a beat map: the spine of the talk, with one moment marked as the thing they’ll always remember.

Movement II

Write it

04Writeper-beat prose, sourced
05Scriptrewritten for the ear

Beats become prose in the executive’s voice, then a spoken script with delivery markup and a clean teleprompter export.

Movement III

Build it

06Designone idea per slide
07Mediathe grounded media brief

A grounded brief your design team builds from, then a critique of the deck they send back. Marquee owns the words; the pixels stay with them.

Movement IV

Ship & learn

08Contentthe run-of-show, the audit
09Rehearsetiming, the readiness gate
10Debriefwhat landed, written back

The showbook, the dress rehearsal, and the post-event reconciliation that makes the next keynote start smarter.

Stage 03 · Storyboard

Deterministic structure, AI prose, one unforgettable moment.

The beat types, the runtime envelope, and the 90-second-hook invariant are deterministic rules the model cannot break. Inside them, the AI drafts the beat, and the operator marks exactly one S.T.A.R. moment, the thing the room will always remember.

First beat is a hook, ninety seconds, no thank-yous or agenda.
Every beat carries its sources, and flags the ones still missing.
Confidence is scored honestly, and red beats a fake green.

Grounding & verification

Nothing reaches the stage that the Hub cannot defend.

Four surfaces enforce the load-bearing idea: the Hub that holds the facts, the gate that catches an unsourced claim, the score that stays honest, and the audit that sweeps the whole assembled cut.

The Context Hub

Every fact is a sourced, versioned chip.

Facts are entered and verified by a human, never auto-applied. Drafts cite them; the audit checks against them. Change a fact and Marquee surfaces every beat that quietly drifted, with a version banner instead of a silent overwrite.

“We bet the company on this”CEO, FY24 AGM
Acme Corp, named customersigned reference
Hub v4: ARR updated $4.1B → $4.3B. 2 beats cite the old figure.
The Compliance Gate

An unsourced claim is pulled apart, not waved through.

When a number has no Hub fact behind it, the gate does not bury it in a wall of text. It names the exact statement, isolates the evidence it needs, and tells the operator the one move to make: source it in the Hub, soften it, or cut it.

The claim, the gap, and the action are three labeled blocks.
Grounding gaps route to the Hub; we never let the AI invent the fact.

Statement

Property sprawl in HubSpot and Salesforce accumulates every time a new event tool is onboarded, creating reconciliation debt that grows each cycle.

Issue

Survey or interview evidence that property sprawl from event-tool onboarding is a named operational burden in the $30M–$500M ARR segment.

Action

Unresolved in Personas. Source the fact or cut the claim before this advances.

Resolve in Hub → Soften without citation Cut the claim
Honest confidence

A score you can read top to bottom.

Every section scores 0 to 100 with additive rationale, the same thresholds across every agent. The score is a ledger: a model base, then each deduction and ceiling, closing to the number you see. No rounding a risk up to green.

The Consistency Audit

One forensic pass over the whole assembled cut.

Brief, concept, script, deck, media, checked against the Hub across five drift dimensions: fact, voice, numeric, structure, terminology. The number in the brief must be the number on the slide must be the number the executive says. One blocker between a keynote and legal review, and Marquee names it.

Built like a producer

Everything has to survive a live room.

The later stages are shaped by the keynote content producer model: protect the story, and make every element survive show day. Two of the surfaces that do it.

The save-the-show gate

A live demo is the number-one risk on a tech stage, so it is a first-class artifact. A demo cannot be approved without a backup recording, a named failover owner, and a rehearsed happy path. Until then it is RED, on purpose.

Happy path, 4 steps, fail points marked
Backup recording — none linked
Failover owner — unassigned
● NOT READY · blocks approval

The master run-of-show

The showbook is the called show: time-ordered segments on a running clock with parallel cue tracks. The beat spine syncs from the approved storyboard; the operator adds the production rows and the cues by hand.

What Marquee is not.

The product is the pipeline. Drawing the edges sharply is part of how it stays trustworthy.

×

Not a slide editor

Marquee owns the words, facts, and voice, hands your design team a grounded brief, then audits the deck they build. The pixels stay with them.

×

Not a chatbot

No open prompt box. Every surface is a deterministic structure with a bounded AI draft and a human approval state, so the output is auditable.

×

Not an auto-publisher

Auto-publish is forbidden. A human is in the loop at every ambiguous seam, and nothing leaves a stage without an explicit sign-off.
