What it does
Upload your investor pitch deck as a PDF and Nautis runs an AI review across every slide. You get a readiness score, slide-by-slide feedback, storytelling and clarity notes, suggested investor questions, and a tracked link you can share with VCs.
Who can use it
Anyone in your organization with read access to the Pitch Decks module can browse decks.
Uploading needs create permission and a verified email.
The Pitch Deck Analyzer must be enabled, and AI features use AI credits.

FAQ
How long does the AI analysis take?
Usually one to three minutes.
Why does the score feel harsh?
The AI grades against late-stage investor expectations. Pre-revenue decks usually score lower — that's normal. Look at Recommendations.
Can I edit the deck inside Nautis?
No. Edit in your slides tool and re-upload.
Will investors see the AI score?
Only if you toggle Show readiness score on. Off by default.
Can I track who has viewed my deck?
Yes — open the share dialog → Manage.
What if my deck has confidential numbers?
Mark Private, add strong passcode, short expiration, disable download, add watermark. Revoke when done.
