Investor-type match with conflicts flagged
A ranked shortlist of investor types fit to your stage, revenue-certainty, timeline, and control preferences, each row scored on the same comparison dimensions with its specific advantage and the one named conflict to mitigate.
You receive: An investor-fit table: one row per candidate investor type scored on the fixed comparison dimensions (timeline-to-funds, timeline-to-exit, valuation-behavior, exclusivity, future-funding-likelihood, sponsor-need, customer-access-effect), a per-row mitigation line, and an overall recommended ordering.

Scope of the check
What's verified: Settles machine (deliverable-validation, cred-free): the table is well-formed, every required dimension column present per row, every cell value from the controlled vocabulary, advantage and mitigation non-empty per row, exactly the requested (or default) candidate set covered, and the ranking a complete duplicate-free permutation of those types. What does NOT settle and is guided by the cited method, not verified: WHICH investor type is genuinely best for this specific startup (the strategic ordering and the substantive fit judgment), strategy correctness is never machine-checkable, only structure and coverage are.
