01 · The method

Three archetypes, 14 named checks.

Published in full, because a score you cannot audit is a horoscope with a decimal point.

ArchetypeWhat it checksChecks
The Value InvestorUnit economics, business model, defensibility, downside risk.4
The Growth PartnerMarket size, timing, traction, momentum, category potential.5
The Risk RealistCompetition, execution risk, team gaps, regulatory exposure, weak claims.5

The free PitchScan pitch deck analyzer runs those three condensed partner archetypes over your deck in a single pass, covering 14 named checks in total. Each archetype scores the deck from 0 to 100 silently, then the committee agrees on one consensus score. You get that score out of 100, a letter grade, a one-line verdict written to you, and the top 3 findings ranked by severity. It takes under 2 minutes, with no signup and no credit card.

Nothing above is a marketing rounding. Those are the checks the model is instructed to run, in that order, which is why they are printed here instead of summarized into a promise about artificial intelligence.

02 · The bar

The 12 points investors verify.

The 14 checks are how the room reads. These 12 points are what it reads for: the arguments an investor expects a deck to close before granting a meeting. This is the standard your deck is read against, not the format of the answer. What comes back is a score, a letter grade and the three findings that fail hardest, each one naming the slide it came from.

  • 01Problem. A specific, costly pain, with evidence someone feels it today.
  • 02Solution. Why your approach kills the pain, not just soothes it.
  • 03Market. A bottom-up build, not a top-down slice of a Gartner number.
  • 04Product. Proof it exists and works: screenshots, demo, pilot results.
  • 05Traction. Dated, verifiable momentum, however early.
  • 06Business model. Who pays, how much, and how often.
  • 07Unit economics. CAC, margin, payback, even as honest estimates.
  • 08Competition. A real map, including the incumbents you hope ignore you.
  • 09Moat. What compounds in your favor after the head start expires.
  • 10Team. Founder proof relevant to this exact problem.
  • 11Financial plan. Projections with visible drivers, not hockey-stick faith.
  • 12The ask. Amount, runway, and the milestone that reprices the company.

Missing points lose slower than half-covered ones. A missing slide is at least honest: the investor asks about it, you answer. A slide that exists without closing its argument is worse, because the question never gets asked and the doubt quietly joins the vote against you. Most rejections founders read as bad luck are half-covered points nobody named out loud.

A checklist is only half the job. The other half is deciding whose opinion to act on once the notes start arriving, which is covered in our guide to pitch deck feedback: where to get it, and how to tell signal from taste.

03 · Going deeper

The $5 report: 7 to 10 analysts who never talk to each other.

The free analysis is one pass by one committee. The paid report is not a longer version of it, it is a different mechanism. Between 7 and 10 personas are selected for your deck out of a bank of 11, picked for what your company actually is rather than dealt out at random. Each one reads the deck independently, in its own model call, with no idea what the others concluded. A meta-analysis pass then reconciles them.

The disagreement is the product. A single reviewer, human or model, averages your deck into a polite 7 out of 10. Seven to ten readers who never spoke to each other do not converge, and the seams where they split are the seams your real investment committee will split on. Five dollars, once, no subscription. You can also just take the free score, fix the top finding and check whether the deck is ready to send.

04 · Same job, three names

Pitch deck checker, pitch deck evaluator, pitch deck analyzer.

Founders look for this tool under three words and mean slightly different things by each. A pitch deck checker suggests a checklist: is there a market slide, a traction slide, an ask. That half is cheap and mostly reassuring, because almost every deck that gets passed on contained all the expected slides. A pitch deck evaluator suggests judgment: is what is written on those slides any good, and does it hold when someone pushes back.

An analyzer has to do both, in that order. Coverage first, because a missing unit economics slide is a finding on its own. Then the harder pass: the market number rebuilt from the bottom up, the traction chart read for what its axis is hiding, the moat claim tested against an incumbent shipping your roadmap next quarter. That second pass is where the score moves, and it is the reason a deck can tick all 12 conventional boxes and still come back in the sixties. Both words now land here, because a page that only checked coverage was a page that stopped at the easy half; the scoring page shows how points come off.

06 · FAQ

Questions about the analysis.

What is a pitch deck analyzer?

A pitch deck analyzer reads your deck the way an investor does and reports back what it found: what the argument claims, what it proves, and where it breaks. The PitchScan analyzer runs three condensed partner archetypes over the deck in a single pass, covering 14 named checks, and returns a consensus score out of 100, a letter grade, a one-line verdict and the top 3 findings ranked by severity.

Is the pitch deck analyzer free?

The analysis on this page is free, with no signup and no credit card, and you get 5 scans a day so you can fix the deck and run it again. The deeper report costs $5 once: between 7 and 10 personas read the deck independently and a meta-analysis reconciles where they disagree. There is no subscription.

How is this different from a pitch deck checker?

A pitch deck checker asks whether a slide exists. An analyzer asks whether what is on it survives contact with a partner who does not want to be impressed. Coverage is the easy half: most rejected decks contain every expected slide. The analyzer scores the claims, not the table of contents.

How is this different from a pitch deck template?

A template tells you which slides to include. The analyzer asks whether each slide actually proves its point. You can follow a perfect template and still come back with a C, because structure is not evidence.

Is this a pitch deck evaluator or just a report generator?

It evaluates. A pitch deck evaluator has to take a position, and this one does: a number out of 100, a letter grade and a blunt one-line verdict addressed to you, plus the three findings that drove it. You can disagree with the verdict, which is the point of publishing the checks it came from.

What is the difference between an evaluation and feedback?

Feedback is an opinion about your deck. An evaluation is a decision process applied to it. Investment committees do not exchange impressions, they argue toward a vote: fund or pass. This page reproduces that structure, which is why the output is a verdict you can trace back to named checks instead of a list of suggestions.

My slide is there but the point still failed. Why?

Because a slide existing is not the same as its argument closing. A market slide carrying only a top-down TAM does not close. A team slide listing titles with no proof relevant to this problem does not close either. Those are the most dangerous cases on the list, because you believe the point is covered while the investor does not, and they are what the committee tends to surface as high-severity findings.

Does any deck cover all 12 points?

Almost never on a first pass, and that is fine. Investors expect an early deck to be thin on traction and unit economics. What kills decks is not a missing point, it is a missing point the founder did not know about. One thing worth stating plainly: the grade is not adjusted for your stage, so a thin deck is read against the same bar whoever wrote it.

How long does the analysis take?

Under 2 minutes for the free analysis. Bring a PDF up to 20 MB and up to 40 slides. If your deck lives in Google Slides or Keynote, export it to PDF first, because that is the format investors will read it in anyway.

What happens to my deck after the analysis?

The uploaded PDF is deleted immediately after it is read. The extracted text is kept 7 days so a purchase can be attached to it, then purged automatically. It is never used to train models and never shared with third parties.
