Does Board Narrative use a benchmark or AI?

No. The result uses visible deterministic rules and only the user's inputs. It is not compared with other customers.

When should I take the Board claim and evidence matrix into a workshop?

When the unresolved work requires team challenge, evidence reconciliation, ownership, and a committed organizational decision.

Board Narrative

Q: What does Board Narrative produce?

A versioned Board claim and evidence matrix with visible reasoning, evidence status, next action, review date, and structured exports.

Build a board narrative that shows what is proven, contested, and still undisclosed.

Definition and worked example

See the method before entering your own evidence.

Who should use it: Reconcile board claims with customer reality, supporting metrics, and disconfirming facts.

Decision basis: Narrative Integrity compares each claim with support, disconfirming facts, verification, risk, and ownership across board, investor, and acquirer modes. Support without a recorded contradiction produces Supported.

Where the free tool stops

The artifact makes the issue visible. The engagement resolves the organizational decision.

Petrichor helps the team reconcile disagreement, challenge evidence, assign ownership, and leave with a committed decision. You will not be asked to recreate this artifact.
