The Three Dimensions
Clarity
Whether you communicated the core investment thesis — pain, traction, differentiation, vision — with enough specificity that the investor understands what the business is and why it matters. Vague storytelling scores low regardless of how good the energy was.
Structure
Whether the call followed a founder-led arc — origin story, traction, competitive context, clear ask — rather than being driven by investor questions. Reactive answers, even good ones, score lower than controlled narratives.
Conviction
Whether the investor showed genuine interest: next-step questions, specific diligence asks, leaning in. The hardest dimension to control directly, but the analysis identifies exactly which moments drove engagement and which left the investor unconvinced.
What the Analysis Actually Tells You
The scores are entry points. The real coaching is inside the call cards. Here the analysis is structured into clearly labeled sections with a dynamic table of contents. Clicking any section title scrolls directly to it. Sections typically include:- Investor Fit & Concerns — how well this investor maps to your round, and what surfaced as friction or hesitation
- Founder Performance — what you did well and where the narrative broke down
- Story & Narrative — how the pitch landed, where it was precise, and where it was too vague
- Product & Market — how the investor engaged with your category and traction claims
- Next Steps — concrete follow-up actions and adjustments to make before the next similar call
Section headings adapt to the content of each call. Not every call surfaces the same gaps — the analysis reflects what actually happened in this specific conversation.
Discuss with Richard
Every analyzed call includes a Discuss with Richard option in the Analysis tab. Richard is loaded with the full transcript and analysis, making it a working session rather than a report to read and set aside. Use it to:- Draft a follow-up — not a generic check-in, but a message informed by what the investor specifically flagged during the call
- Roleplay a talking point that scored low — ask Richard to push back the way the investor did so you can sharpen the answer before the next call
- Interpret conviction signals — if the investor asked sharp diligence questions, Richard can help you read whether that signals serious interest or routine screening
- Define next steps — get structured recommendations on what to do and how to adjust your approach for the next conversation with this investor
