Slide decks whose numbers don’t lie

Build decks on governed data: every number is bound to a metric, checked before anyone sees it, and read with each viewer’s own access. Present to a meeting and keep a record of what was shown.

Read the Presentations documentation
  • Every chart, tile and number bound to your data, never pasted
  • Checks catch misleading charts and mismatched periods as you build
  • Present, freeze for a meeting, and see what changed since

Checked, presented, recorded

A finding that would mislead is fixed in one click, the deck is presented to the meeting with its presenter window, and afterwards the record shows what changed since, and why.

From first slide to next quarter’s deck

Everything around the slides: ways to start, a presenter window, freezing and comparing, exports that say when their numbers were read, and decks that move on to the next period.

  • Templates and styles

    Start from a ready-made deck, from a board update to a year in review, in the style you choose. Its data slots suggest your metrics, each one click to confirm.
  • A presenter window

    Notes with their live numbers, the next slide and the time, in a window of their own while the room sees the slides.
  • Freeze for a meeting

    Keep the published version’s values for the meeting. Readers with other access see live values, and the deck says so.
  • What changed since

    Each figure that moved since a deck was shown, classed by why: data that arrived late, a correction, a changed definition.
  • PDF, picture or PowerPoint

    Export slides, notes or handouts, one slide as a picture, or an editable PowerPoint file with native charts and a snapshot stamp.
  • Versions

    Each publish makes a version with its check report. Restore any version: the draft is kept first.
  • Next period in one step

    Copy a recurring deck for the next month or quarter: every period moves on, and the bindings stay.
  • Readable by everyone

    Contrast, text size and alt text are checked like the numbers, and every chart is named for screen readers.

What you can do with Presentations

  • Bound to governed data

    KPI tiles, charts, tables and numbers in sentences read a metric, a model measure, a saved query or a dashboard card, with each reader’s own access. The deck keeps the binding, never a pasted value.
  • Start from what you have

    A blank deck, a ready-made template in the style you choose, a dashboard cut into slides, or a story with a slide per section. A template’s data slots suggest your metrics, each one click to confirm.
  • Checks as you build

    Bars that don’t start at zero, partial periods compared with whole ones, mixed currencies, averaged ratios, claim words the figures contradict, faint or tiny text: each finding with its fixes, many of them one click.
  • Present to the room

    Full screen, or in a window for a video call, with a presenter window for notes, the next slide and the time. Every figure’s source is a keypress away.
  • A record of what was shown

    Publishing, presenting to a meeting and exporting each keep a record of the values shown that nothing can change. Freeze a deck for a meeting, then see what changed since, and why.
  • Share, comment and export

    Share by role inside your workspace, with comments on slides and elements. Export a PDF, a slide as a picture, or an editable PowerPoint file with native charts.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Start a deck

    Blank, a template, a dashboard or a story

  2. Step 2: Bind and check

    Every number from your data, checked as you go

  3. Step 3: Publish

    The server checks again and keeps a version

  4. Step 4: Present and record

    The values shown, kept for the meeting

Questions, answered

Something else? Ask our team or search the documentation.

Who sees which numbers?
Each figure is computed for the person reading or presenting the deck, with their own data access. Someone whose access hides a source sees a dash with the reason in its place, never the value.
Can a deck go out with a misleading chart?
A finding that must be fixed, such as bars that don’t start at zero, holds the deck back from publishing and exporting until it is fixed, often in one click. Other findings are flagged for review, and the server checks the deck again when you publish.
What does freezing a deck do?
Freeze for a meeting keeps the published version’s values as they were. Readers whose access matches yours see those values; everyone else sees live values and a note saying so. Afterwards, What changed shows each figure that moved since the meeting and why.
Can I take a deck into PowerPoint?
Yes. Export an editable PowerPoint file with native charts for the common chart types; others come in as pictures with a note. Every slide says when its numbers were read and links back to the live deck.
Which plans include Presentations?
Presentations is part of every plan.
