\begin{block}{Background}
Many teams still produce technical PDFs through manual formatting workflows. This introduces avoidable errors, slows collaboration, and complicates release cycles.
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Objective}
Design a repeatable and automation-ready template system that keeps output quality high while reducing document operations overhead.
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Method}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Placeholder-first source design
  \item Schema-guided data injection
  \item API-driven compile verification
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\end{column}

\separatorcolumn
\begin{column}{\colwidth}
\begin{block}{Architecture}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Content layer for manuscript text
  \item Metadata layer for structured fields
  \item Rendering layer for deterministic PDF output
\end{itemize}
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Key Result}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\toprule
Metric & Before & After \\
\midrule
Template setup time & 2.5h & 35m \\
Formatting defects & Medium & Low \\
Review readiness & Inconsistent & Stable \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Takeaway}
Reliable document automation is a force multiplier for technical and academic teams producing recurring publication assets.
\end{block}
\end{column}

\begin{column}{\colwidth}
\begin{block}{Implementation Notes}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Keep style tokens centralized
  \item Validate every new template in CI
  \item Preserve deterministic compile settings
\end{itemize}
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Future Work}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Add benchmark datasets for compile quality
  \item Expand template taxonomy and category coverage
  \item Integrate linting for placeholder completeness
\end{itemize}
