Where it hurts

  • Numbers without a source read as spin to an investor.
  • The ask is at the end, after the reader has stopped reading.
  • Your co-founder is too close to the plan to see the hole.

Works on investor updates, board memos, strategy and planning docs, fundraising narratives.

What a reply looks like

You on a highlighted passage
@[email protected] /review as skeptic

Archie Skeptic
"Pipeline tripled" has no base. Tripled from what, measured how, and how much of it is qualified? An investor will ask in the first reply; put the number and the definition here.

Every reply quotes your text, gives the reason, and proposes replacement text you paste. Archie never edits the document.
