Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pitch-deck-creation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pitch Deck Creation

Create pitch decks that raise capital, launch products, and win customers — with proven structures from top accelerators and investors.

Core Principles

1. The 10-Slide Rule

Investors decide whether to meet you in the first 3-5 minutes. Keep the deck to 10-12 slides max. Every slide must earn its place — if it doesn't advance the narrative, cut it.

2. One Problem, One Solution

The best pitch decks are laser-focused on a single, painful problem and a single, elegant solution. Trying to solve three problems confuses the narrative and dilutes impact.

3. Show Traction, Not Just Vision

Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. Your pitch deck must demonstrate real progress — revenue, users, partnerships, or meaningful pilots. Investors bet on momentum.

4. Design Polished = Product Polished

A poorly designed pitch deck signals sloppy execution. Investors judge your attention to detail by your deck before they ever see your product. Invest in design.


Pitch Deck Maturity Model

Level Narrative Data & Traction Design Investor Readiness
1: Napkin Random slide order No metrics Default template, typos Not ready to raise
2: Structured Problem → Solution order Basic metrics (users) Consistent branding, readable Pre-seed preparation
3: Persuasive Clear narrative arc Growth metrics + unit economics Professional design, data viz Seed stage ready
4: Convincing Story + evidence balanced Cohort data, LTV/CAC, retention Custom illustrations, animations Series A ready
5: Irresistible Emotional + logical appeal Financial model projections, scenarios Polished, premium feel, video Late stage / growth

Target: Level 3 for seed fundraising. Level 4 for Series A and beyond.


Pitch Deck Structure

The Gold Standard Slide Sequence

1. TITLE SLIDE           — Company name, tagline, presenter
2. PROBLEM               — The painful problem you solve
3. SOLUTION              — Your product / service
4. WHY NOW               — Market timing and trends
5. MARKET SIZE           — TAM, SAM, SOM
6. PRODUCT               — How it works (screenshots / demo)
7. TRACTION              — Revenue, users, growth metrics
8. BUSINESS MODEL        — How you make money
9. COMPETITION           — Landscape + your advantage
10. TEAM                  — Why you're the right founders
11. FINANCIALS           — Projections, key assumptions
12. ASK                  — What you need and what it buys
13. CLOSING              — Contact, call to action

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
