Exit Narrative

Q: What does Exit Narrative produce?

A versioned Build-versus-buy and integration evidence matrix with visible reasoning, evidence status, next action, review date, and structured exports.

Q: When should I take the Build-versus-buy and integration evidence matrix into a workshop?

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

Connect durable assets and integration requirements to a defensible build-versus-buy claim.

Start with my inputs

Definition and worked example

See the method before entering your own evidence.

Who should use it: Test the strategic-value story an acquirer will challenge.

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.

Clearly fictional input

Strategic value claim: Our evidence system shortens the acquirer's time to category authority
Build-versus-buy argument: Recreating the dated dataset and distribution system would take multiple cycles
Durable asset and proof: Versioned claims records with source lineage
Integration requirement: Retain research review ownership
Defensibility proof: Public evidence and change history
Missing evidence: No quantified integration timeline

This sample runs through the same method and artifact structure as your own work.

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.
