The lesson

Put the plan on one slide as four named moves, then give the audience one live control to feel the objection.

The move

A deck rebuilt by Pitch Unfairly around Hamilton's 1790 pitch. "Pay the debt. Buy the trust." sits beside a $1,000 bond. "Four moves, one balance sheet." lists Assume, Fund at par, Bank and Mint. A debt dashboard lets you click states out of $75.6M, and the objection slide toggles "Hamilton: pay the holder" against "Madison: pay the soldier".

Why it works

  • Our readEach move gets a short name, a one-line description and a dated source, which keeps the plan easy to hold in one pass.
  • Our readClicking a state's debt out of the total makes the audience test the claim themselves, which a static total can't do.
  • Our readGiving the opposing side its own toggle shows the strongest objection openly, so the pitch looks confident rather than evasive.

What not to copy

The figures and the history are part of the story, not support for a real case. Keep the interactive tabs and the plan-as-short-names layout; write your own objection in the opponent's terms.
