TOP-3 DIRECTIONS: 1️⃣ Evidence, AskClarity, Focus (k=3) — Proof-led case for a narrow freelance-designer wedge, ending in a specific marketing ask 🟢 BEST-FIT — READY-TO-USE PROMPT BELOW Type: A | Compatibility: Compatible — Evidence and AskClarity suit about 10 slides and 8+ minutes Core: Evidence + AskClarity | Weak link: Evidence + Focus (thin data on one narrow segment) 2️⃣ Evidence, AskClarity, Clarity, Focus (k=4) — Same case as #1, with one idea per slide Type: A | Compatibility: Partially compatible — needs adaptation; Clarity favors 5-9 slides, one short of the 10 assumed 3️⃣ Evidence, AskClarity, Story (k=3) — Proof-led case wrapped in a problem-to-resolution arc Type: B | Compatibility: Compatible — Story fits 8-13 slides and 6-12 minutes ──────────────────── 🟢 READY-TO-USE PROMPT (based on 1️⃣): Create a 10-slide seed pitch deck for angel investors, to be delivered in 8 minutes (about 45-50 seconds per slide). The company is ✏️[COMPANY NAME], a mobile app that helps freelance designers track invoices. It has 400 active users, of whom 35 pay $12 per month. It is raising $500,000 to grow marketing. Core message on every slide: a narrow, proven wedge (freelance designers and invoice tracking) is showing early paid demand, and $500,000 of marketing spend is a specific, measurable next step. Use only figures from this brief. Never state a figure that isn't here or marked as a placeholder. Derived figures allowed (computed from the brief): - Paying share of active users: 35 ÷ 400 = 8.75%. - Monthly recurring revenue: 35 × $12 = $420. This assumes all 35 payers are on the $12 monthly plan. - Annualized: $420 × 12 = $5,040, with the same assumption. Terminology: always "freelance designers" (not "creatives" or "small businesses"), "active users," "paying users," and "invoice tracking." Tone: plain, confident, evidence-first, with no hype words. Keep one idea per slide. Slide sequence: 1. Title. Message: what the company does in one line. Evidence: none needed. Speaker notes: introduce the company and state the one-line promise and the raise in one breath (about 30 seconds). 2. Problem. Message: freelance designers struggle to track who has paid and who hasn't. Evidence: ✏️[USER-VALIDATED PROBLEM EVIDENCE SUCH AS INTERVIEW OR SURVEY RESULTS]; if none exists, present the problem as a hypothesis. Speaker notes: describe one concrete situation, then say how the problem was validated. 3. Solution. Message: the app makes invoice status visible at a glance. Evidence: a product screenshot with a single caption. Speaker notes: walk through the one core action a user takes. 4. Traction. Message: show what the numbers support. Evidence: 400 active users, 35 paying users, 8.75% paying share (35 ÷ 400), $420 MRR (35 × $12), plus ✏️[USER GROWTH OVER TIME] and ✏️[RETENTION OR CHURN DATA]. Speaker notes: lead with the paying-user count, and state plainly which trends you can and can't yet show. 5. Business model. Message: a $12 monthly subscription. Evidence: price, the 35 paying users, the $420 MRR calculation, and the $5,040 annualized figure with its assumption. Speaker notes: explain who pays, and that no other revenue claims are made. 6. Market. Message: the wedge is freelance designers. Evidence: ✏️[MARKET SIZE WITH SOURCE]; show the calculation and its assumptions, or omit the figure. Speaker notes: explain why starting narrow makes sense before expanding. 7. Competition and wedge. Message: why freelance designers need a focused tool. Evidence: ✏️[NAMED COMPETITORS AND SOURCED COMPARISON]. Do not write "first," "only," "leading," or "no competitors" without a source. Speaker notes: acknowledge alternatives honestly. 8. Go-to-market and use of funds. Message: the $500,000 goes to marketing, split specifically. Evidence: ✏️[MARKETING BUDGET SPLIT BY CHANNEL]. Speaker notes: connect each budget line to the goal of growing paying users. 9. Team. Message: why this team can execute. Evidence: ✏️[FOUNDER NAMES AND RELEVANT BACKGROUND]. Speaker notes: tie each background to the problem. 10. The ask. Message: raising $500,000 for marketing. Evidence: ✏️[MILESTONES TARGETED WITH FUNDS], ✏️[MONTHS OF RUNWAY], ✏️[INSTRUMENT AND TERMS], and ✏️[CONTACT DETAILS]. Speaker notes: restate the ask, the milestones, and the next step you want from investors. Consistency: the same numbers everywhere (400, 35, $12, $420, $500,000), the same core message, and the same terminology throughout. Each slide gets one headline stating its message, one supporting visual, and speaker notes of 3-4 sentences. Negative prompt / avoid: invented users, revenue, growth rates, or market sizes; made-up investor, customer, or competitor names; "first," "only," "leading," or "no competitors" without a source; a vague "grow marketing" ask without a budget split; dense slides with several points; projections or valuations not supplied by the founder; implying traction trends or retention that the data doesn't show; copying another company's deck. ──────────────────── ℹ️ "This tool compares strategic approaches and expands the best-fit one into a pitch deck prompt — it doesn't analyze uploaded files, verify the accuracy of figures or claims, check legal, securities, or grant-eligibility compliance, or clear IP/rights of any referenced style or work.
