Free pitch deck checker

Before you polish slides, check the skeleton. Paste your outline — one slide per line — and see whether the narrative arc your audience expects is actually there: present, missing, or out of order. Works for fundraising pitch decks, board updates, and customer-facing sales decks.

No signup. No usage cap. Deterministic — the same outline always gets the same score.

Three decks, three arcs

Each deck type is checked against the arc its room expects — the same sequencing Gixo Lumen builds decks with.

Pitch deck — the VC reading order
Problem → Solution → Market → Traction → Team → Ask → Use of Funds, with competition and business model as expected extras. Each missing section comes back with why investors look for it — a deck without an ask isn't a pitch, it's a product tour.
Board update — the recurring arc
Strategy → KPIs vs Plan → Risks & Mitigations → Financial Summary → Decisions Requested → Next Quarter. The check that catches the most common board-deck failure: forty slides of activity and no decisions requested.
Sales deck — the buyer conversation
Discovery → Pain → Solution → Differentiation → Proof → Pricing → Next Steps. Pricing is checked as its own slide, because burying it reads as hiding it — and decks that open with "About Us" instead of the buyer's world get flagged by what's missing up front.

Outline first, slides second

Most weak decks aren't badly designed — they're badly sequenced. The fix is cheapest before any slide exists, which is why this checker takes an outline, not a file: one slide title per line, ten seconds of pasting. It matches your lines against the expected sections for the deck type, checks whether the sections you do have appear in the conventional order, and flags slide titles that run past eight words — the practical ceiling for titles a room can read at a glance.

The honest boundary: a complete arc doesn't make the content good. "Traction: Present" says nothing about whether your traction is impressive — that bar is yours to clear. What the checker guarantees is that you'll never stand in front of a partner meeting and realize the use-of-funds slide doesn't exist, and because it's deterministic, the score is a progress meter: rework the outline, re-run, watch the gaps close.

When the outline is ready, the slides are the part Gixo Lumen automates: a complete deck generated from a brief, sequenced with these same arcs, exported as native editable PowerPoint. The free plan includes 10 decks per month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pitch deck checker really free?
Yes — no account, no usage cap. It's deterministic outline matching, so each run costs nothing to serve. The paid product is deck generation, not the check.
Do I need to upload my deck file?
No — paste the outline as text, one slide title per line. Slide numbers and bullet characters are tolerated and stripped automatically. Checking structure before building slides is the whole point.
What does the score mean?
Required-section coverage carries most of the weight, with a bonus for sections appearing in the conventional order and credit for expected optional sections. Bands: Not Ready (0–39), Emerging (40–59), Close (60–79), Ready (80–100).
Will it judge whether my content is good?
No — it checks structure, not substance. "Traction: Present" means the slide exists, not that the numbers impress. The checker makes sure the skeleton is complete so the room judges your story, not your missing slides.
