Deckmetric is an AI pitch deck analyzer built by Shepard&Young. The methodology, the Captivate-Validate-Motivate framework and the nine benchmark VC frameworks behind every score, was authored by founder Sebastian Scheplitz and is published in full so you can read the rubric before you upload.
Deckmetric is an AI pitch deck analyzer built by Shepard&Young, a cross-border strategy and capital advisory practice. The platform scores every uploaded deck against the proprietary Captivate-Validate-Motivate (CVM) framework as the headline grade, and benchmarks it against nine published VC frameworks (Y Combinator, Sequoia, a16z, 500 Global, First Round, Tiger Global, Family Office, Techstars, Antler). The methodology was authored by founder Sebastian Scheplitz and is published in full on the methodology page so founders can read the rubric before they upload.
Bring the quality of pitch deck feedback that top accelerator partners give in private to every founder, on demand. Make the scoring rubric visible. Make the investor-fit logic transparent. Cut the iteration time from weeks of warm intros to a single afternoon of structured rewriting.
Deckmetric exists because the same pattern kept appearing in every advisory engagement: founders had no idea how investors were actually scoring their pitch, and most generic deck feedback failed to explain which fund types they were a fit for. We encoded the diagnostic Shepard&Young had been running privately into a scoring engine and made the rubric public.
Shepard&Young is a strategic advisory practice for globally mobile operators, founders, and investors navigating cross-border markets. The firm has built and sold companies, advised family offices across three continents, and evaluated thousands of pitches in operator and investor seats.

Read the full Deckmetric methodologyWe do not sell your data. We do not use your deck for training , it is processed under contract with Anthropic via the Claude API, whose commercial terms prohibit training on API inputs. Full sub-processor list and retention details on /trust.
We do not give vague feedback, every score is tied to a published rubric. And we do not pretend to predict whether you’ll get funded; we tell you how each investor archetype is most likely to read the deck you have today.
