Before this went online
What we checked
A deck becomes a website the moment it is published, and a website is read by people who were not in the room. These are the 8 things worth saying out loud before anyone reads it that way — 2 of them serious enough that the slide is not published at all.
Withheld 2 Replaced 1 Open 3 Note 1 Checks out 1
Slide 26 · withheld
The contact slide is unedited template placeholder
- What is on the slide
- hello@•••••••••••••••.com · @re••••••••••••• · (••) ••••-••••
- Why it matters
- These are Canva's demo values, not yours. An investor who emails the address on the last slide reaches nobody. It also carries a phone number, which the house rule forbids on anything public.
- What this build did
- Slide 26 is not published here. The contact block below is the one from your own title slide.
Slide 19 · 20 · withheld
Three real companies are shown as existing partners
- What is on the slide
- Fortinet, Cisco and CrowdStrike logos under “Collaborative Partnerships” and “Strategically aligned alliances enhance Guardian Sphere™ capabilities”
- Why it matters
- That sentence asserts a relationship with three public companies, using their trademarks. No agreement, term sheet or contact was supplied with the deck. Shown to an investor, it is a representation they may rely on.
- What this build did
- Slides 19 and 20 are not published here. The ambition is stated on this site as a target list, in your own words, with no logos.
Slide 9 · replaced
The market chart is placeholder data
- What is on the slide
- A two-line chart labelled “Series 1 / Series 2” over “Item 1” to “Item 6”
- Why it matters
- Those are Canva's demo numbers. The chart sits directly beside the real $168 billion figure, so a reader takes it as the evidence for that figure. It is not evidence of anything.
- What this build did
- Replaced with a chart drawn from your own three numbers on slide 10 — the only market figures the deck actually states.
Slide 3 · open
The EMF growth rate has no source
- What is on the slide
- “rising EMF exposure rates at 20% per year”
- Why it matters
- It is the only rate in the deck and the one a technical reviewer will ask about first. No citation appears anywhere in the 26 pages.
- What this build did
- Printed here as your claim, attributed to the deck, and marked unsourced. Give us the source and it becomes a footnote instead of a flag.
Slide 24 · open
“Funding Use Breakdown” has no breakdown on it
- What is on the slide
- The slide carries its title and nothing else — six words in total
- Why it matters
- Slide 22 asks for $5M. The slide that is supposed to say where the $5M goes is empty. This is the first question in the room and the deck does not answer it.
- What this build did
- Recorded as open. Nothing was invented to fill it — an allocation we made up would be worse than a blank.
Slide 23 · open
“A dedicated team” names no one
- What is on the slide
- “Guardian Sphere™ is led by a dedicated team” — one person is named in all 26 pages: you, on slide 1
- Why it matters
- Investors fund people. A leadership slide with no leaders on it reads as though there is no team yet.
- What this build did
- Recorded as open. Send names and roles and this becomes a real slide.
Slide 18 · 21 · note
The partnership imagery is generated, not photographed
- What is on the slide
- Community, sheriff and congregation scenes
- Why it matters
- They are illustrations. If they sit beside a claim about existing community relationships, a reader may take them as documentation of real events.
- What this build did
- Published, labelled as illustration.
Slide 9 · 10 · ok
The market arithmetic checks out
- What is on the slide
- $150B smart home security + $6B EMF protection + $12B child online safety = $168B
- Why it matters
- The headline total is the sum of the three parts it names. Re-added here at build time.
- What this build did
- Published as stated.
