-## What's New in v4.0.0 — True Knowledge-Driven Architecture
-
-**The Knowledge Base now DRIVES everything at runtime — no more hardcoded specs.**
-
-### Breaking Changes
-- `PresentationEngineV2` now requires Knowledge Base YAML at runtime
-- All design specs loaded from KB, not constants in code
-
-### New Features
-- **📚 Runtime KB Loading** — The 6,300+ line YAML knowledge base is parsed at runtime, not duplicated in code
-- **🎯 H3 Action Title Extraction** — Markdown H3 headings become slide titles (McKinsey "so what" principle)
-- **📊 Tables Preserved Correctly** — Tables stay as tables, never mangled into metric cards
-- **🚫 No Orphan Slides** — Minimum 3 bullets per slide, balanced distribution
-- **✅ 95+ Quality Threshold** — Engine fails if quality score below 95/100
-
-### Knowledge Base Integration
-- Word limits from `presentation_types.{type}.validation_rules.words_per_slide`
-- Bullet limits from `presentation_types.{type}.validation_rules.bullets_per_slide`
-- Theme from `presentation_types.{type}.color_palette`
-- Experts from `presentation_types.{type}.primary_experts`
-- Scoring weights from `presentation_types.{type}.scoring_weights`

-### 7 Specialized Presentation Types
-| Type | Theme | Words/Slide | Key Experts |
-|------|-------|-------------|-------------|
-| `ted_keynote` | Dark | 1-15 | Duarte, Reynolds, Anderson |
-| `sales_pitch` | Modern | 10-30 | Cialdini, Heath |
-| `consulting_deck` | McKinsey | 40-80 | Minto, McKinsey, BCG |

-<td width="50%">
+### How Images Work (No API Keys Required)
 
-### ⚡️ Zero Cost Forever
-No API keys. No subscriptions. Runs 100% locally. MIT license.
+The tool uses a **3-tier image fallback system** that works completely free:
 
-### 🛡️ Fact-Checked Output
-Built-in hallucination detector ensures every claim is sourced from your input. Zero made-up statistics.
+| Priority | Source | API Key Needed? | How It Works |
+|----------|--------|-----------------|--------------|
+| 1st | **Your Local Images** | No | Put images in same folder as your content |
+| 2nd | **Unsplash Source** | No | Keyword-matched photos from Unsplash |
+| 3rd | **Picsum.photos** | No | Professional placeholder images |
 
-</td>
-<td width="50%">
+### Option 1: Use Your Own Images (Best Quality)
 
-### 🎯 Auto-Remediation to 95/100
-Automatically fixes quality issues until professional-grade threshold is met. No manual formatting needed.
+Place images in the same directory as your content file:
 
-### 🏦 Investment Banking Ready
-Football field charts, waterfall visualizations, comps tables — all auto-generated with proper formatting.

-## The Scenario
+```
+my-presentation/
+├── content.md           # Your presentation content
+├── images/              # OR put in 'images' subfolder
+│   ├── hero.jpg
+│   ├── team.png
+│   └── product-demo.gif
+├── screenshots/         # OR 'screenshots' subfolder
+│   └── app-ui.png
+└── assets/              # OR 'assets' subfolder
+    └── logo.svg
+```
 
-You're deep in a Claude Code session. You've built something real:
-- A product strategy
-- A quarterly business review
-- An investor pitch
-- A project plan
-- A competitive analysis
+**The CLI auto-detects images** in:
+- Same directory as input file
+- `images/` subfolder
+- `screenshots/` subfolder
+- `assets/` subfolder
 
-Now you need slides.
+Supported formats: `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`, `.svg`
 
-**What usually happens:**
+### Option 2: Automatic Free Images (No Work Required)
 
-You ask Claude to make a presentation. You get walls of text, generic bullet points, and amateur formatting. You spend the next two hours manually fixing everything in PowerPoint. Or you give up and just build it from scratch.
+If you don't provide images, the tool automatically fetches relevant photos:
 
-**What happens with this library:**
+**Unsplash Source (Free, No API Key)**
+```
+https://source.unsplash.com/800x600/?technology,business
+```
+- Matches keywords from your slide content
+- High-quality photos
+- No registration needed
+- No rate limits for basic use
 
+**Picsum.photos (Always Available)**
 ```
-Your Claude project context
-         ↓
-   One command
-         ↓
-Professional presentation (HTML or PowerPoint)
-Ready to present. Ready to send to clients.
+https://picsum.photos/800/600
 ```
+- Professional placeholder images
+- Seeded for consistency (same content = same image)
+- Zero configuration
 
----
+### Optional: Enhanced Unsplash (More Control)
 
-## 7 Presentation Types
+If you want more control over images, you can optionally set an Unsplash API key:
 
-The engine automatically detects your content and applies the right expert methodology:
+```bash
+# Optional - get a free key from https://unsplash.com/developers
+export UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY="your-key-here"
 
-| Type | Expert Methodology | Visual Style | Best For |
-|------|-------------------|--------------|----------|
-| **TED Keynote** | Nancy Duarte (Sparkline) | Bold, minimal, black backgrounds | Conference talks, inspiration |
-| **Sales Pitch** | Robert Cialdini (Persuasion) | Trust blue, success green | Closing deals, demos |
-| **Consulting Deck** | Barbara Minto (Pyramid Principle) | McKinsey blue, action titles | Strategy, recommendations |
-| **Investment Banking** | Analyst Academy | Navy + gold, serif fonts | M&A, valuations, pitchbooks |
-| **Investor Pitch** | Sequoia/YC frameworks | Clean, startup purple | Fundraising, board decks |
-| **Technical Presentation** | Edward Tufte (Data-ink) | Dark mode, Space Grotesk | Architecture, engineering |
-| **All Hands Meeting** | Internal comms best practices | Corporate blue, win green | Company updates, celebrations |
+# Then generate as normal
+npx claude-presentation-master generate content.md
+```
 
-### Investment Banking Specialty Charts
+**Without the key, images still work** — they just use Unsplash Source (simpler API).
 
-For IB presentations, the engine generates industry-standard visualizations:
+### What About AI-Generated Images?
 
-```typescript
-// Football Field Valuation Chart
-engine.addFootballFieldChart(slide, {
-  title: 'Valuation Summary',
-  methodologies: [
-    { name: 'DCF', low: 42, mid: 48, high: 55 },
-    { name: 'Comps', low: 38, mid: 45, high: 52 },
-    { name: 'Precedents', low: 44, mid: 50, high: 58 }
-  ],
-  currentPrice: 46
-});
+This tool does **not** generate AI images because:
+1. AI image APIs cost money
+2. They require API keys
+3. Stock photos are often better for presentations
 
-// Waterfall Chart
-engine.addWaterfallChart(slide, {
-  title: 'Enterprise Value Bridge',
-  startLabel: 'Equity Value',
-  startValue: 850000,
-  steps: [
-    { label: 'Plus: Debt', value: 250000 },
-    { label: 'Less: Cash', value: -150000 },
-    { label: 'EV', value: 950000, isTotal: true }
-  ]
-});
-
-// Sources & Uses Table
-engine.addSourcesUsesTable(slide, {
-  title: 'Transaction Financing',
-  sources: [
-    { label: 'Senior Debt', amount: 500000 },
-    { label: 'Equity', amount: 300000 }
-  ],
-  uses: [
-    { label: 'Purchase Price', amount: 750000 },
-    { label: 'Fees & Expenses', amount: 50000 }
-  ]
-});
-
-// Comparable Companies Table
-engine.addCompsTable(slide, {
-  title: 'Trading Comparables',
-  columns: ['EV/Revenue', 'EV/EBITDA', 'P/E'],
-  companies: [
-    { name: 'Company A', values: [3.2, 12.5, 18.3] },
-    { name: 'Company B', values: [2.8, 10.2, 15.7] },
-    { name: 'Target Co', values: [2.5, 9.8, 14.2], highlight: true }
-  ],
-  medianRow: true
-});
-```
+If you want AI-generated images, create them separately and put them in your `images/` folder.

-## Quality Assurance System
+## 📊 7-Dimension Quality Scoring
 
-### Bulletproof QA Pipeline
+Every presentation is scored across 7 dimensions. The tool **iterates until 95+**:
 
-Every presentation goes through a rigorous validation pipeline:
+| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures |
+|-----------|--------|------------------|
+| **Layout** | 15% | Whitespace (40%+ required), balance, structure |
+| **Contrast** | 15% | WCAG 4.5:1 compliance, readability |
+| **Graphics** | 10% | Image presence, placement, relevance |
+| **Content** | 20% | Word limits, bullet count, structure |
+| **Clarity** | 15% | One message per slide, key message focus |
+| **Effectiveness** | 15% | Expert methodology compliance |
+| **Consistency** | 10% | Style uniformity, title casing |
+
+### Iterative Auto-Fix
 
 ```
-Content Analysis → Slide Generation → QA Validation → Auto-Remediation → Final Output
-                                           ↓
-                           [Loops until 95/100 threshold met]
+Generate → Score (85/100) → Auto-Fix Issues → Regenerate → Score (92/100) → Auto-Fix → Score (97/100) → ✅ Done
 ```
 
-### What Gets Validated
-
-| Category | Checks |
-|----------|--------|
-| **Content** | Word count per slide, bullet count, one-idea-per-slide |
-| **Visual** | Whitespace %, font consistency, color count |
-| **Structure** | Title slide present, conclusion slide, logical flow |
-| **Expert Rules** | Glance test (3-second rule), Rule of Three, Pyramid structure |
-| **Accessibility** | WCAG contrast ratios, minimum font sizes |
-| **Hallucination** | Every fact must be traceable to source content |
-
-### Hallucination Detection
-
-The engine includes a **zero-tolerance hallucination detector**:
-
-```typescript
-// The engine checks every statistic, quote, and claim
-const factCheck = await hallucinationDetector.checkForHallucinations(
-  slides,
-  originalContent,
-  contentAnalysis
-);
-
-// If unverified facts are found, they're automatically flagged and removed
-if (!factCheck.passed) {
-  slides = hallucinationDetector.remediate(slides, factCheck);
-  console.log(`Removed ${factCheck.issues.length} unverified claims`);
-}
-```
+The engine will iterate up to 5 times (configurable) to reach your target score.

-## The Knowledge Base
-
-This isn't a template library. It's a **complete expert system** — 6,300+ lines of encoded expertise.
-
-### What's Inside
-
-**From McKinsey, BCG, Bain:**
-- Pyramid Principle — Lead with the answer
-- SCQA Framework — Situation → Complication → Question → Answer
-- Action Titles — "Revenue grew 23%" not "Revenue Analysis"
-- One Message Per Slide — Every slide has exactly one job
-- Chart Callouts — Always tell the audience what to see
-
-**From Nancy Duarte (Slide:ology, Resonate):**
-- Sparkline Structure — Alternate between "what is" and "what could be"
-- STAR Moments — Something They'll Always Remember
-- Glance Test — Understand it in 3 seconds or less
-- Signal-to-Noise — Maximize meaning, eliminate clutter
-
-**From Garr Reynolds (Presentation Zen):**
-- Simplicity — When in doubt, leave it out
-- Restraint — Resist the urge to add
-- Visual over Verbal — Show, don't tell
-
-**From Carmine Gallo (Talk Like TED):**
-- Rule of Three — Human memory works in threes
-- 18-Minute Rule — Optimal presentation length
-- Emotional Connection — Touch hearts before minds
-
-**From Edward Tufte:**
-- Data-Ink Ratio — Every drop of ink should represent data
-- Chartjunk Elimination — No 3D effects, no decorative gridlines
-- Graphical Integrity — Never distort data for visual effect
-
-**From Barbara Minto (The Pyramid Principle):**
-- Top-Down Communication — Conclusion first, support second
-- MECE Grouping — Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive
-- Vertical Logic — Each level supports the one above
-
-**From Robert Cialdini (Influence):**
-- Social Proof — Show who else succeeded
-- Scarcity — Limited time, limited availability
-- Authority — Credentials and expertise
-- Reciprocity — Give value first
-

 ## FAQ
 
 **Does this require an API key?**
-No. Everything runs locally on your machine.
+No. Everything runs 100% locally. Images use free services (Unsplash Source, Picsum.photos).
 
 **What's the difference between mode and type?**
-- **Mode** (`keynote` or `business`) controls word counts and visual density
-- **Type** (e.g., `investment_banking`) selects the expert methodology and theming
+- **Mode** (`keynote`/`business`): Controls word count and visual density
+- **Type** (e.g., `consulting_deck`): Selects expert methodology and theming
 
-**Can I customize the output?**
-Yes. HTML is just HTML. PPTX opens in PowerPoint. Edit freely.
+**How do I add custom images?**
+Put them in the same directory as your input file (or in `images/`, `screenshots/`, `assets/` subfolders). The CLI auto-detects them.
 
-**What if I don't like the auto-detected type?**
-Specify it explicitly: `presentationType: 'consulting_deck'`
-
-**Does it work with Claude Code?**
-Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for.
-
-**What about images?**
-Every slide automatically gets a contextual background image from Unsplash (free, no API key required). Images are at 40% opacity with a cinematic dark overlay to ensure text readability. The image keywords are selected based on slide type and content.
+**What if Unsplash is slow or down?**
+The tool automatically falls back to Picsum.photos placeholders.
 
 **Can I lower the quality threshold?**
-Yes, but not recommended: `qaThreshold: 80`
