Catch off-brand slides
before your client does.
Chekmate checks every deck against your client's brand and lists what's off: the wrong colour, the wrong font, the slides pasted from an old template. Each one with the slide it's on.

The problem
Decks come back almost on-brand.
Freelancers, client teams and AI tools all make decks now. Most come back close. Close is what your client notices.
The red that's slightly off
Two reds can look the same on your screen and different on your client's. Nobody checks the colour code.
Slides from someone else's deck
Pasted slides bring their own fonts and template with them. They look fine until someone clicks into them.
Checking by eye, the night before
Someone flicks through 40 slides at 11pm. They catch most of it.
However the deck was made
If it opens in PowerPoint or exports to PDF, Chekmate can check it.
How it works
Send a deck. Get a list of what's off.
We set up each client's brand once, from their guidelines or their website. Every deck after that is checked against it.
Send the deck
A PowerPoint or PDF, with the brand guidelines or the brand's website.
We check every slide
Every colour and font, exactly as PowerPoint shows them, against the brand.
You get the list
Each issue with its slide, what it is and what it should be.
The report
A report you can forward
Clear enough to fix without opening the deck. Plain enough to send to the client as it is.

What it catches
The mistakes clients notice.
We read the file itself, so we report exactly what was used, not a guess from a screenshot.
Colours
Every colour on every slide, compared with the brand palette. Near misses are matched to the colour they were meant to be.
Fonts
The actual font on every line, including the ones hidden in the template. Lookalikes like Arial get flagged too.
Templates
Slides built on a default or borrowed template are flagged once for the whole run, not line by line.
The brand's website
No guidelines, or out-of-date ones? We check the deck against the colours and fonts on the brand's website instead.
Coming next: logo spacing, margins and text that runs out of its box.
Accuracy
It has to be right, or it's just noise.
We tested Chekmate against PowerPoint itself, on real agency decks.
