- Research and source context
- Decision summary and material uncertainties
- Relevant economic assumptions
- Practical validation actions
A useful hold or no-go is a completed result when its reasoning and required outputs are delivered. Missing files or a failed run are not a completed assessment.
THE RESULTUnderstand the case.
Understand the case.
Choose what to test.

The next evidence to collect

Downloads, edits and assessment updates
In a saved assessment, you can read and download available files or export a ZIP with an offline reader. Saved narrative edits can be included as labeled copies alongside their generated originals. Manual wording edits use no allowance; an eligible AI section rewrite uses one allowance on validated proposal delivery after scope review. Read about wording revisions and exports or review section rewrite terms. New evidence and revised inputs can require a new reviewed assessment; a saved scenario is not new research. Eligible requested analysis updates retain the existing research and use one assessment allowance after explicit scope review. Review update scope and allowance terms.
A fit when you need to…
- Separate evidence from assumptions in the business case behind a pre-seed raise.
- Examine the proposed customer, current alternatives, and economic inputs.
- Choose the next evidence to collect before committing to a direction.
Support for a particular business model, market, or regulated sector must be confirmed before work starts. The fictional B2B example does not establish universal coverage.
Outside this assessment
Does not include a pitch deck, investor introductions, fundraising execution, a website, or empirical AI testing.
It also excludes investor matching, legal or investment advice, and conducting customer interviews or experiments. It does not certify investor readiness, provide investor approval, or predict whether you will raise funding.

- Describe the problem, your proposed solution, and who would use or pay for it.
- Keep the decision question specific. Add your initial market and capital if known; unknowns can stay unknown.
- Add relevant text notes if useful. Review and correct your inputs before saving or authorizing research.
