Pitch deck checker for Gixo Lumen

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.

How to use this tool

Who it is for

Founders, operators, and sales teams reviewing a pitch, board, or sales-deck outline before slide production.

Input

Choose a supported deck type and paste one slide title per line. Slide numbers and common bullet characters are tolerated.

How it works

Deterministic title matching checks required and expected sections, their conventional order, and overly long slide titles.

What the output means

The report shows structural coverage and ordering gaps. A present section means the title was recognized; it does not mean the underlying evidence or argument is strong.

Limitation

It does not review slide design, verify metrics, judge investment quality, predict fundraising outcomes, or inspect a PowerPoint file.

Data-handling boundary

Paste only an outline you are authorized to process. Do not include confidential metrics or customer details when section titles alone are sufficient; review the Privacy Policy for service-data handling.

Illustrative input

Illustrative pitch outline: Problem; Solution; Market; Business Model; Traction; Team; Ask. One title appears on each line.

Illustrative output

Illustrative: the checker can mark required sections as present, flag Use of Funds as missing, and identify an order issue. This is an example of report shape, not an evaluation of a real company.

Ask next: Does each present section contain supportable evidence, does the sequence fit this audience, and which claims need a human reviewer?

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. Use the checker to catch configured structural gaps such as a missing use-of-funds section. Because the rules are deterministic, the score can work as a progress meter: rework the outline, re-run, and review which gaps closed.

When the outline is ready, Lumen turns the brief into a structured first pass for review. PowerPoint export is hybrid by design: stable layouts become editable text and shapes, while complex slides preserve fidelity as images. The active 14-day Starter trial includes clean export; after the trial, export requires paid Lumen access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pitch deck checker really free?
Yes — sign in to use it, with no usage cap. It uses deterministic outline matching rather than AI generation, so there is no per-check AI charge.
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.

Check the skeleton before you dress it
