Briefing packs
Partner briefing packs
A one-off set of charts and captions for an away-day, AGM, or board paper on caseload and hours.
Away-days fill with narrative. A briefing pack from Desktop Craftline is the opposite: a small number of pictures, each with a caption that states what the figure is, what period it covers, and what it does not cover.
We write for partners who will challenge a chart. Axes are labelled. Comparators are the firm's own prior period, not an invented industry average.
If the printer needs bleed and crop marks, we supply them. If the session is paperless, we supply a PDF that still reads when projected in a poorly lit room.
