Decision language, defined.

A reference glossary for the decision concepts ClarityInvest uses across fundraising and private-market underwriting.

Investor-room retell

The compressed internal version of a company that an investor can remember, explain and defend after the founder leaves the room.

The reduction of a complex investment story into the few claims, risks and analogies that survive a handoff between decision-makers.

A condition where the investment logic may be coherent but one or more claims are not yet evidenced strongly enough to carry conviction.

The type of capital whose decision logic, risk tolerance and timing best match the company’s current evidence and financing need.

A discrete round of investment work — analysis, information requests, diligence or senior review — used to resolve a decision-relevant uncertainty.

Whether the available evidence is adequate for the decision currently being made, without implying that full diligence is complete.

Whether an opportunity fits the actual constraints and portfolio logic of a specific pool of capital.

The next action justified by the current evidence: stop, investigate, reprice, restructure or full underwrite.
