Round Narrative Consistency Check
Round Narrative Consistency Check helps the founder or programme team critically review consistency between deck, model, use of funds and investor story. Within Funding, Grants & Investment Readiness, it turns a broad or uncertain area of the venture into a concrete Bertie work product that can be reviewed, improved and reused. The task is intentionally discrete: it should produce a specific artefact, decision, evidence item or risk signal rather than general learning notes.
Critically test the quality, consistency and readiness of Round Narrative Consistency Check. The objective is to remove ambiguity around consistency between deck, model, use of funds and investor story, give the founder a decision-ready output, and make it clear whether the venture should progress, repeat the task with stronger evidence, escalate to expert support, or move into a linked stage.
Bertie or a programme manager assigns Round Narrative Consistency Check when the venture needs a decision-ready output for this group. Typical triggers include group-gate reviews, evidence gaps identified by the co-pilot or founder request.
venture thesis; customer evidence; product roadmap; financial assumptions; current funding objective; existing artefact to review; specific context for consistency between deck, model, use of funds and investor story.
Gather the latest iteration of the pitch deck, financial model, cap table, use-of-funds schedule, and written narrative summaries into a centralised audit folder. Ensure all version dates match and represent the exact materials currently being shared with prospective investors.
ObjectiveCompiling all active fundraising assets in one place establishes a single baseline for auditing. This prevents conflicting historical versions from contaminating the consistency review and ensures the evaluation reflects current venture reality.
What's expectedThe founder must present an indexed asset folder containing the current pitch deck, integrated financial model, detailed use-of-funds breakdown, and core narrative document. All documents must feature synchronised version tracking and matching baseline operational dates.
Open action arrow_forwardConsultant stress-test · 5 questions- 1.Are these documents genuinely the exact versions currently live in your investor data room?
- 2.How have you controlled for version drift between your pitch deck metrics and underlying financial model tabs?
- 3.What operational baseline date aligns all financial projections and operational KPIs across these materials?
- 4.Where are the discrepancies between what you present in initial pitch calls and what is written in your formal documentation?
- 5.How do you ensure that updates made to the financial model automatically trigger revisions in the pitch deck graphics?
- A data-room asset titled Round Narrative Consistency Check
- A review note with a verdict, evidence gaps, risks, recommended corrections and a clear continue / repeat / escalate decision
- It should update the venture DNA with specific evidence or decisions about consistency between deck, model, use of funds and investor story, create a visible milestone in the founder journey, and generate one or more recommended next tasks
Bertie co-pilot maps funder or investor criteria to evidence, drafts and reviews materials, simulates evaluator objections, and updates the funding record. For this task, it should focus on consistency between deck, model, use of funds and investor story, prompt the founder for missing inputs, draft or improve the output, flag weak assumptions, and record the result back into the relevant data-room section.
A mentor or evaluator can review the output at the group gate. Programme managers can require an advisor checkpoint before Bertie moves the venture forward.
