Prototypes for the "capital recycling engine" slide(s) in the capital provider teaser deck.
Each concept visualizes the same core story: working capital deploys into NNN assets,
forms DSTs, sells to 1031 investors, recycles quarterly, and returns in 2-5 years.

Investment Highlights. Each slide is 1200x675.
Round 5 — Design Shotgun: Flow Visualization
SHOTGUN AThe Engine Room
Dark / blueprintTechnical schematicEngineering precision
Cutaway technical diagram with 4 labeled chambers (Acquire, Structure, Place, Recycle) connected by
animated dashed flow lines. Flywheel gauge showing 4.0x Annual Velocity. Blueprint grid background,
document number "OC-DST-FLOW-2026-R1". Capital recycling loop runs beneath all chambers.
SHOTGUN BRiver Delta
Dark / organicBranching streamsTopographic, luminous
Capital flows like water. Single golden stream branches into 4 quarterly channels, each flowing
through waypoint markers (Acquire, Structure, Place, Recycle). Channels converge into a wider
$100M river. Topographic contour lines as background texture. Glow filters on streams.
SHOTGUN CThe Loop
Dark / minimalCircular flowApple-keynote cleanStrong candidate
Ultra-minimal. One large circular arrow with 4 compass-point nodes (Acquire, Structure, Place, Recycle).
"4.0x" in oversized thin typography at center. Maximum negative space. Subtle pulse animation.
The kind of slide that works at any size, in any context.
SHOTGUN DAccordion Timeline
Dark / institutionalQuarterly barsData-forward, McKinsey
Horizontal timeline with accordion bars growing taller Q1 through Q4 ($25M, $50M, $75M, $100M).
Recycling arrows between quarters. Month axis with tick marks. Growth trajectory line.
Right sidebar: "$25M Input to $100M Total Output". Goldman/McKinsey energy.
SHOTGUN EParticle System
Dark / generativeFlowing particlesBloomberg meets art
Hundreds of gold dots flow through transit-style stations (Acquire, Structure, Place, Recycle).
Particle density increases with each pass, visually showing capital multiplication.
CSS-animated drift. Recycle loop curves back from right to left with growing density.
Round 4 — New Creative Directions
NEWThe Dollar Multiplier
Dark / brand-mark4 connected loopsConceptual, elegantStrong candidate
Tracks ONE dollar through 4 complete cycles as literal loops. Each loop shows a specific NNN asset.
"ONE DOLLAR. FOUR INVESTMENTS. ONE POOL OF CAPITAL." Almost logo-like in its simplicity.
Side-by-side: Traditional DST (gray, static, locked 7-10 years) vs Optionality Capital (dynamic, recycling quarterly).
Comparison table at the bottom: 1x vs 4x velocity, 7-10 vs 2-5 yr hold, 1 vs 4+ investors served.
Very clear value proposition.
NEWCapital Recycling Waterfall
Light / McKinseyWaterfall chartInstitutional, data
Stepped waterfall showing $25M growing to $100M in total assets served through quarterly recycling.
4.0x multiplier badge. The kind of chart capital providers are used to seeing in PE decks.
NEWDST Assembly Line (Pipeline)
Light / isometricConveyor beltOperational, visual
Conveyor belt with 3 stations (Acquire, Structure, Place). Multiple cohorts visible simultaneously
at different stages. Capital recycles via a loop beneath the belt. Shows the operational machine.
NEWCapital Orbital System
Dark / celestialOrbital ringsAbstract, spatial
Working capital as a golden sun, quarterly asset batches orbiting around it.
1031 investors enter at each quarter position. Animated flow lines show capital
deploying outward and returning inward.
The same dollar tracked through multiple transactions like a bank statement.
Return rows highlighted in green, recycled deployments tagged with blue badges.
Summary: working capital vs total investor equity placed = 4x ratio.
Bloomberg-meets-annual-report aesthetic.
Round 3 — Polished & Professional
01Elegant Dark
Dark / PE fundLinear nodesPremium
Goldman-meets-luxury-brand aesthetic. Five golden nodes on a horizontal line with SVG icons.
Recycling shown as a dashed arc below. Bottom metrics row (4x velocity, 2-5yr hold, NNN, 1031).
Very clean, very confident. Good single-slide option.
02Blueprint v2 — System Architecture
Dark navy / technicalComponent boxesEngineering schematic
Positions the business as a "system" with labeled components (Input, Acquisition, Structuring, Distribution).
Animated recycling pipe with chevrons at the bottom. $XXM placeholders ready to fill in.
"CONFIDENTIAL / FOR QUALIFIED INVESTORS ONLY" footer adds gravitas.
Deploy / Recycle / Return as three clean cards. The center "Recycle" panel is the hero,
with a quarterly cycle diagram. Bottom metrics bar. Light background feels editorial and trustworthy.
Could work well as the "one slide that explains everything."
04Isometric Cityscape
Light / illustratedIsometric 3DVisual / spatial
CSS-transformed isometric buildings labeled Q1-Q4, showing the quarterly acquisition pipeline.
Capital flows as a river/pipeline through the scene. Good for conveying scale and the
physical nature of the assets. More illustrative than the others.
05Minimal Story — Film Strip
Light / warm6 framesSequential story
Six numbered frames like a film strip. Each has one SVG icon and a short caption.
Frame 05 "Capital recycles" is highlighted in gold with a dashed arc looping back to Frame 02.
Film-strip sprocket holes reinforce the "story in sequence" metaphor.
Round 2 — Creative / Illustrative
06Machine (original)
Dark / blueprintMachine schematicTechnical
The original "Capital Recycling Machine" concept. Blueprint aesthetic with components
and a recycling pipe. Blueprint v2 above is the refined version of this idea.
07Avatar Flow
Light / SaaSCharacter avatarsModern, approachable
Four character avatars connected by gradient arrows. "How One Dollar Serves Many Investors" headline.
More casual/SaaS than the polished concepts above.
08Comic Strip
Light / hand-drawn5 panelsCasual, playful
Newspaper comic strip with hand-drawn fonts. Fun but probably too casual for capital providers.
Round 1 — Data Visualizations
09Sankey (Plotly)
DarkSankey diagramData-driven
Interactive Plotly sankey showing proportional capital flows. Q1 track on top, Q2 on bottom.
Good for data-heavy audiences but feels more like analytics than a pitch.
10Lifecycle Flowchart (Mermaid)
DarkFlowchartTechnical
Top-to-bottom Mermaid flowchart. Comprehensive but dense. Better as an appendix or
internal reference than a teaser slide.
11Timeline
DarkVertical timelineNarrative
Seven-phase vertical timeline. Good companion for a verbal walkthrough but too tall
for a single slide. Could work as a multi-slide sequence.
