Before and after: four real decks through wetria

An executive review, an investor pitch, a fund's sector deck and a vendor proposal, each sent through wetria once. What was asked, what changed, what it cost.

Before and after: four real decks through wetria

These are four real runs, each a single pass with no manual touch-ups. Three are client decks, so names, figures and logos were changed with wetria's own Sanitize before the images were made, the same way on both sides. The layouts are exactly what came back.

1. An executive review, every chart from the Excel

The draft was ten slides of text that named the data but did not show it. The brief was one line: "Executive committee deck, dark style. Build every chart from the attached Excel." Design mode, 87 tokens. Each chart was built from the spreadsheet and stays a live chart in PowerPoint and Keynote.

Before: a draft slide stating Q3 revenue growth in bullet points, with the chart described in a note
After: a dark slide with the point in the title and a monthly revenue chart built from the spreadsheet

This is a test brief with its spreadsheet, not a client's deck; the run is real. The full walk-through is in every chart from the Excel.

2. An investor pitch, figures into one slide

A startup's twelve-slide pitch in Design mode, 73 tokens. On the financial model slide the draft was a list of figures under a heading. The point went into the title and three years of revenue into a chart. Every figure is the draft's.

Before: a financial model slide listing revenue figures as plain text links
After: the raise and the return period as large figures with a three-year revenue chart

3. A fund's sector deck, a crowded slide calmed

Eight slides on an agency's template, Design mode, 147 tokens. The slide below carried eleven points with a row of small pictures. The same eleven points now sit on one grid, in the deck's own colours. The layout changed; the content did not.

Before: eleven applications of AI in healthcare crowded into one row of small images and captions
After: the same eleven points arranged on a clear grid with consistent icons and captions

4. A vendor proposal, moved onto a template

Sixteen slides moved onto an agency's template with Adapt to template, 146 tokens. Every word and figure was carried across into the template's layouts, type and colours. Nothing was rewritten.

Before: an investment overview in the vendor's own style
After: the same investment overview on the agency template with all figures kept

What the four have in common

  • The words were already there. None of these decks needed a new argument.
  • Each brief was one or two lines. The service carried the rest.
  • Each pass cost between 73 and 147 tokens, the check included.
  • Every slide was checked against the original before the result was shown.

What a single pass does not do

It does not decide what the deck should argue. If slide eight is the wrong slide, a cleaner version of it is still the wrong slide. That judgement is what the studio sells; read what changes in a presentation redesign for where layout ends and structure begins.

Frequently asked questions

Were these slides edited by hand after the run?

No. Each image is what one pass returned. Client names, figures and logos were changed with Sanitize afterwards, the same way on both sides.

How much did each deck cost?

Between 73 and 147 tokens per deck, including the check. Plans start at $26 a month for 400 tokens.

How long did they take?

About a minute a slide. The median is 8 minutes to format, 13 to move onto a template and 14 to redesign.
