8 directions for the same job: show what looks private, let people hide or keep each one, then continue. Current version is closest to #1 plus a side list.

Before you publish
I checked your 8 slides and found 5 things that look private: a client name and logo on the cover, revenue on slide 7, a quote on slide 6 and team names on slide 5. I'll swap them for placeholders in the template. Your deck stays the same.
