Deducta Projects track targets, owners, timelines, and progress as opportunities move toward execution. Automated refreshes can follow a team's preferred cadence; monthly refreshes are described as the minimum. The file upload API accepts Excel, Parquet, CSV, and ZIP files, with a default 50 MB limit. Deducta states that data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, and access is logged and auditable. Pricing is on request, with no public plan prices shown.
