What Oria does
| Feature | What it means | |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Slides that do not look AI-generated | None of the boxy, template-stacked look. Layouts structured to consulting standards. |
| 02 | Multiple design options with one click | Compare distinct design options instantly. Never settle for a single default draft. |
| 03 | Precisely follows the brand | Well beyond base colours and fonts — your firm's exact look and feel. |
| 04 | Fully editable, native output | Real PowerPoint shapes, never images. Refine every element as you always do. |
Built for every slide scenario — turn rough ideas, an audio note or a brain dump into CEO-ready slides · paste structured output from Claude or ChatGPT and get polished designs · upload an existing slide and get a cleaner one back · snap a photo of handwritten notes and get fully editable slides.
Enterprise-grade security — zero data retention, working artifacts self-destruct within one hour · Oria does not use your content to train or fine-tune models · enterprise agreements with leading AI providers · fully private cloud or on-premise deployments.

Claude Consulting Skills
11 Claude skills for the strategy work that happens before the deck exists.
These follow the arc of a real engagement: turn a vague brief into one decision-shaped question, break it into a MECE tree, state hypotheses you could actually be wrong about, run the diagnostics that settle them, and land an answer that survives a hostile room. They are method, not templates — they make Claude reason the way a strategy team reasons, and they hold the same discipline whether the question is growth, cost or operations.
They were written by Oria and published free. If the answer eventually has to become a partner-grade deck, that is what Oria does.
The skills
Frame the problem — get the question right before anyone runs a number
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
problem-definition | Turns a symptom or a solution-in-disguise into a one-page SCQA problem statement and a single decision-shaped key question, tested against five sharpness checks. |
issue-tree-builder | Decomposes that key question into a MECE issue tree or hypothesis tree, names the decomposition logic, and ranks the branches so the critical path is obvious. |
hypothesis-design | Commits to a provisional answer, breaks it into disprovable hypotheses, and pairs each with its disproof condition and the one analysis that settles it. |
Run the analysis — the diagnostics that settle the question
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
competitor-analysis | Reads industry structure with Porter's Five Forces, then profiles each rival on capability, cost and vulnerability so you know which threats are real. |
cost-driver-analysis | Splits a cost movement into volume, rate and mix effects, finds the sub-driver behind the dominant one, and maps each effect to the intervention that fits it. |
zero-based-budget-builder | Rebuilds a cost centre from a zero base, classifying every line as minimum, target or enhancement, with a justification sentence ready for the CFO. |
process-redesign | Maps a value stream end to end with real timing and first-pass-yield data, diagnoses the handoffs, and designs a future state with the controls that make it stick. |
Land the answer — synthesise it, choose it, defend it
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
insight-synthesis | Ladders each finding from observation to implication to action, clusters them into a handful of governing insights, and ranks those by decision impact. |
where-to-play-how-to-win | Builds the five-part strategy choice cascade with explicit exclusions, then stress-tests it for coherence and against the strongest competitor's implied cascade. |
pyramid-storyline | Structures the argument answer-first — one governing thought, three to five MECE pillars, SCQA setup — and checks the vertical and horizontal logic. |
objection-handling | Pre-mortems the pushback, writes each objection in the challenger's sharpest form, scores it on likelihood and lethality, and drafts the answer and its follow-up. |
Install
Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, following the Agent Skills format.
Claude Code — clone into your skills directory:
git clone https://github.com/andreworia/claude-consulting-skills.git
cp -r claude-consulting-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
Claude app (web, desktop, mobile) — go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload a skill folder, or zip one and upload it.
A single skill — copy just the folder you want. Each one is self-contained.
Usage
Skills load themselves when the conversation matches their description. You can also name one directly:
Use the problem-definition skill. The client says "our margins are getting
crushed, we need to cut costs" and wants a plan in six weeks.
Use issue-tree-builder on that key question, then rank the branches.
A natural chain for a full engagement:
problem-definition → issue-tree-builder → hypothesis-design
→ competitor-analysis / cost-driver-analysis
→ insight-synthesis → pyramid-storyline
→ objection-handling
A cost or operations engagement swaps the middle: cost-driver-analysis to find where the money actually went, then zero-based-budget-builder to rebuild the spend or process-redesign to fix the flow that created it. The framing and the landing stay the same.
Then bring the storyline into PowerPoint with Oria to get native, editable shapes rather than an image of a slide.
Why these exist
Oria builds the AI that renders complex, professional slides inside PowerPoint. Most of our users are consultants and strategy teams, and the hardest part of their job is never the drawing — it is getting to a defensible answer. So we wrote down the method: how a key question is sharpened until it is worth answering, why a hypothesis you cannot disprove is worthless, what separates a finding from an insight. None of that is proprietary, so it is published here for free.
