5 questions every investor asks
Investor interpretation Early investors don't fund solutions. They fund urgency. If the pain is optional, the market is optional.
Investor interpretation CAC above LTV is not a growth problem. It is a unit economics problem. Growth makes it worse, not better.
Investor interpretation Month-one retention is a product signal. Month-three is a business signal. Growth without retention is a leaking bucket.
Investor interpretation Runway under pressure differs from runway on plan. Investors stress-test both. Most founders only know one.
Investor interpretation Scale without defensibility is market share on loan. The question is not whether you can grow - it is whether you can hold.

How It Works
Diagnosis, not reporting.

The model reads how your operating conditions interact under pressure. Not what your metrics are - what they mean when they collide.

01

Submit Operating Data

Revenue, burn, retention, CAC, LTV, team size, competition - captured in a single structured form. Takes 8 - 12 minutes. No deck required.

02

Structural Interpretation

The model evaluates how your dimensions interact under load - not individual scores. It reads patterns, computes constraint, and identifies what is binding the system.

03

Decision-Grade Output

You receive a structured PDF report: system verdict, primary constraint, priority actions, scenario analysis, and an Investor Questions section - each of the 5 key investor questions answered from your operating data, with layered analysis from quick read to investor interpretation.

How This Differs From AI
Engine, not chatbot.

Two approaches. Two different things.

Dimension StartupDiag AI Chatbot
Method Deterministic structural engine LLM text generation
Consistency Same input produces the same output Varies per session and prompt
Output Constraint named, mechanism explained, action sequenced Generic advice, framing-dependent
Built on Proprietary structural framework Probabilistic next-token prediction
Portfolio Diagnostic
Compare multiple startups.
Identify what is stable,
fragile, or misleading.
