/check-deck — Presentation QC
In investment banking, a single wrong number in a client pitch can undermine your firm’s credibility and, in the worst case, lead to deal issues or regulatory problems. Presentation QC (quality control) is the process of methodically checking a deck for number inconsistencies, data-narrative misalignment, language issues, and formatting problems before it goes to a client or managing director.
Junior analysts often spend late nights manually cross-checking numbers across 30+ slide decks. This command automates that process, checking four dimensions simultaneously and producing a structured findings report categorized by severity.
For a deep dive into deck QC methodology, see the IB Check Deck Skill page.
Command Syntax
This is a read-and-report operation — Claude does not edit the deck. Review the findings report first, then request specific changes.
What It Produces
A QC report categorizing findings by severity (Critical, Important, Minor) across four dimensions:| Dimension | What It Catches |
|---|---|
| Number Consistency | Same metric showing different values on different slides |
| Data-Narrative Alignment | Claims that contradict the supporting data |
| Language Polish | Casual phrasing, contractions, vague quantifiers |
| Visual & Formatting | Missing chart sources, inconsistent number formats, font drift |
