Investor Story

Q: What does Investor Story produce?

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

Identify the diligence gap before it becomes a credibility gap.

Start with my inputs

Definition and worked example

See the method before entering your own evidence.

Who should use it: Stress-test investor claims against verification, projections, and customer corroboration.

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

Investor claim: The model expands within existing accounts

Verification method: Reconcile signed amendments against billing records
Projection assumption: Expansion begins within nine months
Customer corroboration: Four reference customers describe the same next use case
Diligence gap: Smallest cohort has not reached nine months
