# Check Deck Command

> QC a presentation deck for errors and consistency -- learn why quality control is critical before client-facing deliveries in investment banking.

# `/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](/en/financial-analysis/skills/ib-check-deck) page.

## Command Syntax

```
/check-deck [path to .pptx file]
```

**Examples:**

```bash theme={null}
/check-deck ./decks/Project_Atlas_Pitch.pptx
/check-deck
```

If no file path is provided, Claude will ask for the deck to review.

<Note>
  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 |

## How to Customize for Your Firm

```bash theme={null}
claude plugin install financial-analysis@financial-services-plugins
```

Edit `skills/ib-check-deck/SKILL.md` to add your firm's specific language standards, formatting conventions, or required disclaimers.
