Define the competitors and dimensions to compare, then collect product reality, funding history, traction metrics, pricing, and positioning gaps from public sources. This Skill structures the output into findings, implications, risks, and a recommendation with every claim sourced.

Collect the fund's size, stage focus, typical check size, relevant portfolio companies, public thesis, and recent activity. Then assess fit and flag red flags or mismatches, producing a dossier that supports the outreach decision.

Combine top-down estimates from reports or public datasets with bottom-up sanity checks based on realistic customer acquisition assumptions. State every assumption explicitly so each leap in logic is auditable.

Yes, this Skill requires every important claim to carry a source and labels numbers as sourced or estimated. Stale data is explicitly flagged, and contrarian evidence is included alongside the main findings.

Findings depend on publicly available data, so private company financials and non-public traction metrics may be unavailable or estimated. Results should be treated as decision support, not a substitute for primary interviews or paid analyst reports.
