Each phase includes a bold label and matching arrowed arc to indicate the iterative flow, while editable text placeholders surround the graphic for detailed annotations. The clean white background and minimalist typography highlight the colored segments, and master-slide controls let you adjust hues, swap icons, or tweak fonts in seconds. Built with vector shapes, this fully editable slide maintains crisp resolution across all devices and supports seamless customization of segment labels, cycle order, and arrow styles.
