Donor reporting dashboard with one-click PPTX export (React/TS)

The one-click PowerPoint export is the real selling point — it packages KPIs, timelines and qualitative stories into slides using pptxgenjs, which actually solves the tedious manual rebuild nonprofits hate. The repo shows care (type-safe indicator calculations, Vite chunking, tests), but to go beyond an MVP it needs robust templating, spreadsheet/connectors and a reusable data model for different orgs and donor formats.
