SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematically scan an investment opportunity for warning signals across five categories: Integrity/Consistency, Team, Market, Traction, and Legal/Compliance. Use this skill when building a risk register for a deal, scanning founder materials for internal contradictions, running external background checks on founders and companies, checking corporate hygiene signals, producing a ranked flag table with severity and recommended validation steps, or preparing the risk input for an IC memo.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured flag discovery: identify and label flags across all five categories with evidence, severity, and confidence.
  • Evidence-backed prioritization: generate a ranked risk table with recommended next steps for validation.
  • Cross-source pattern detection: surface multi-flag patterns that indicate underlying concerns.
  • Escalation guidance: provide concrete questions and actions for internal or external review.

Quick Start

Provide a structured risk scan given founder materials and deal artifacts to generate a ranked red-flag table with evidence and recommended validation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about Red Flags Scanner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run due diligence to identify red flags in an investment opportunity?

To run due diligence, provide founder materials and deal artifacts to scan for red flags across Integrity, Team, Market, Traction, and Legal/Compliance categories. The scan outputs a structured risk register with severity, confidence, sources, and recommended validation steps.

What is the best way to build a risk register for an IC memo?

The best way to build a risk register for an IC memo is to scan deal artifacts for warning signals across five core categories. This produces a ranked flag table with evidence, severity scores, and concrete escalation questions for internal review.

Can I use this to check corporate hygiene and run background checks on founders?

Yes, you can check corporate hygiene signals and run external background checks on founders and companies. The scan enforces guardrails by cross-checking sources and escalating concerns regarding team integrity or legal compliance.

How does cross-source pattern detection work for investment risk analysis?

Cross-source pattern detection works by scanning founder materials for internal contradictions and combining them with external checks. This surfaces multi-flag patterns that indicate underlying concerns, generating a comprehensive risk table with recommended next steps.

What inputs do I need to provide for a structured investment risk scan?

You need to provide structured deal artifacts and founder materials as inputs. The scan enforces guardrails by requiring minimum inputs to generate a ranked red-flag table with evidence, pattern summaries, and escalation guidance.

Are there limitations when scanning complex VC deals for compliance risks?

A limitation when scanning complex VC deals is that the system requires minimum inputs and cross-source checks to enforce guardrails. It provides recommended validation steps rather than final judgments, requiring manual escalation for ambiguous compliance risks.
