Assemble Artefact, Evidence and Financial Base Case
Gather all current financial models, pricing logic, unit economics, and supporting customer evidence into a consolidated review deck. Pull together existing cash flow forecasts, runway projections, and baseline revenue assumptions to create a single source of truth.
Completing this action consolidates all existing financial drivers and commercial assumptions into a single reviewable location. It ensures the scenario analysis is built on documented baseline figures rather than fragmented or outdated spreadsheets.
The founder must present a fully populated base-case financial model alongside a logged inventory of supporting evidence for every primary line item. This must include explicit starting cash balances, burn rate schedules, and documented conversion rates.
