SAMPLE · Fictional example

The 3 issues to resolve first

These fictional examples show the kind of evidence gaps an investor may ask about.

Critical01

The stated $2.1M ARR does not match the available financial evidence

The supporting contracts indicate about $840K ARR. An investor will need a clear explanation before relying on the deck figure.

Recommended next step: Reconcile the calculation in one model tab and identify exactly what the ARR figure includes.

High02

One customer accounts for 41% of reported ARR

A single churn event could materially change the company’s runway and growth story.

Recommended next step: Prepare contract, renewal, and downside-case evidence for that customer relationship.

High03

Two early contractors have no recorded IP assignment

The company may not be able to show clear ownership of work used in the product.

Recommended next step: Collect signed agreements or documented secondary evidence for the work performed.

Readiness breakdown

A score is a starting point; the notes explain what the fictional score means.

Evidence readiness

Core company records are present, but the financial model and IP paperwork need attention.

Claims backed by evidence

Only 2 of 6 investor-facing claims are fully backed by the documents reviewed.

Financial clarity

The reported ARR cannot yet be tied to the available contracts and model.

Technical readiness

The documentation and secret-management evidence are incomplete.
