The Terminal theme, on an example deck

There is no official Black-Box Protocol Stage 03 template, so this is a student’s CIFAR-10 coursework deck in devreport’s Terminal theme, which is why it has 10 pages. Your deck follows the 8 slides below, in that order, and is written from your own repo and notes.

TECHhelp4U gives no slide template, and Stage 03 is about systems that hold up under load, so the page starts you on Terminal: green phosphor, a shell prompt and a window drawn round every slide. Switch to any other theme before or after the build.

How it works

1Start from the button
The 8-slide Black-Box Protocol Stage 03 plan comes picked, in the Terminal theme. (Or start a deck, choose Slides and pick it under “Follow a template”.)
2Give it your material
The problem statement, your idea notes with the team details the cover asks for, and your repo or screenshots if you have them.
3Answer its questions
It asks for any cover detail your notes don’t have, and what it needs to know about the idea.
4Check it and submit the PDF
Fix a word on the page yourself or ask for changes, then download the PDF.

The round

Organiser: TECHhelp4U
Deadline: 15 December 2026, 11:59 PM IST (The System Convergence round on Unstop: a PPT and a video, from shortlisted teams); the 36-hour offline Venture Convergence is 25–27 December. The listing’s description still carries older dates; these are its round dates
What you submit: A PPT file and a video file in The System Convergence round on Unstop. The listing sets no slide count or format; it asks for your preliminary idea, on any real-world problem, in any stack
The rules: unstop.com

Not an official template. TECHhelp4U publishes no slide template for this round. The slides below follow the round’s written rules on its page, and the look is devreport’s Terminal theme. devreport is not affiliated with Black-Box Protocol Stage 03 or TECHhelp4U; the round’s rules decide what you may submit.

The 8 slides, from the round’s rules

Start from the button and the deck follows these, in this order, in the Terminal theme.

Slide	What the rules ask for	What to give devreport
1. Cover	Your system and team (2–4 members)	The system’s name and your team as registered
2. The Problem	Any meaningful real-world problem: there are no tracks and no set problem statements	The problem, who has it and why it matters
3. The System	Your preliminary idea: the system you will build	Your idea notes or README
4. Architecture	What the Hour 08 audit checks: system architecture, database choice, API design, schemas and scope	Your planned modules, database and APIs; it draws the diagram
5. Security and Error Handling	One of the four benchmarks: withstanding failures and edge cases	The failure cases you have thought of, and how each is handled
6. Load and Reliability	What the Hour 18 stress test checks: backend load, concurrency, API limits and reliability	The load you expect and how the backend copes; no made-up benchmarks
7. Real-World Utility	One of the four benchmarks: measurable impact and clear adoption logic	Who adopts it first, and why
8. The 36-Hour Plan	A scope you can build on a fresh codebase in 36 hours, ending in a live system with no mock data	What you will build in which order, and what you will leave out

Questions

Is this the official Black-Box Protocol Stage 03 template?

No. TECHhelp4U hasn’t published a slide template for this round, so there is none to rebuild. The 8 slides here follow the round’s written rules, and the look is devreport’s Terminal theme. devreport is not affiliated with Black-Box Protocol Stage 03 or TECHhelp4U.

What if the organisers send a template or format later?

If you get a .pptx, upload it under “Follow a template” when you start the deck and it follows that file’s slides and headings. For a deck you have already made, ask for the changes the format needs.

Can I submit the devreport PDF?

The round asks for a PPT file and a video file in The System Convergence round on Unstop. The listing sets no slide count or format; it asks for your preliminary idea, on any real-world problem, in any stack. Check the organiser’s rules when in doubt.

We only have an idea, no code yet. Does it still work?

Yes. A repo is optional. Upload the problem statement, your notes on the idea and any data or screenshots, and it writes the slides from those. It won’t invent research, users or results you don’t give it.

Can I fix things myself before submitting?

Yes. Click any text on a slide to change it, move or resize charts and pictures, or ask for a change in plain words. Hand edits are free.

How long does it take?

Usually three to five minutes, a little longer for a big repo, plus the time you take to answer its questions.

What does it cost?

New accounts get 15 free credits. A deck costs 10 credits and each change you ask for afterwards costs 1; editing text on the page yourself and switching themes are free. A build that fails gives its credits back.
