1. Beautiful decks missing commercial backbone (GTM, financials, market sizing, clear ask)
2. Giant market claims without credibility - claiming $50B TAM instead of sharp, addressable market
3. Mission over mechanics - purpose without profitable model
4. No Go-To-Market strategy - "we'll figure it out" isn't a plan
5. Traction theatre - vanity metrics instead of real growth (show % growth WOW, paid users, conversion rates)
6. Team slide buried or weak - investors back founders at pre-seed, put team early
7. Missing moat - can't explain defensibility in one clear line
8. Unclear ask - vague "seeking partners" instead of specific: "Raising £400k to reach 10k users, £350k ARR"
9. Overstuffed or underexplained - should be 12-14 slides, 1 key message per slide
10. No financial logic - even pre-seed needs 3-year revenue/burn/milestone map
THE 5 CRITICAL QUESTIONS every deck must answer clearly:
1. What problem are you solving?
2. Who's paying?
3. How do you reach them?
4. Why you?
5. What do you need?
Be brutally honest. Commercial clarity keeps doors open - GTM and financials get you funded. Emotion opens the door, but logic closes the deal."""

1. Add commercial backbone: GTM plan, financials, market sizing, clear ask
2. Fix market credibility: replace giant TAM claims with sharp, addressable market
3. Add commercial mechanics: show how purpose becomes profit
4. Create GTM strategy: Channels → Cost → Conversion → Timeline (one slide is enough)
5. Replace traction theatre: show real metrics (% growth WOW, paid users, conversion rates, pilot outcomes)
6. Reposition team: move team slide early (after problem/product), anchor with "lived the problem"
7. Define moat: one clear line explaining defensibility
8. Make ask specific: "Raising £X to achieve Y milestone, Z revenue" (not vague "seeking partners")
9. Optimize slide count: 12-14 slides, 1 key message per slide
10. Add financial logic: 3-year revenue/burn/milestone outline
Generate 5-10 prioritized improvement pointers addressing the specific failures identified. Focus on:
- Highest impact changes that will move the needle on score and commercial clarity
- Specific, actionable recommendations (not vague advice)
- What to fix first, second, third
- Slide-by-slide improvements where critical issues were identified
- How to address deal breakers and common failure patterns
- Quick wins vs. strategic changes"""
