deal-output

Analyzes investment memos, IC decks, strategy memos, and PowerPoint presentations and produces a redlined critique of every claim using McKinsey MECE logic tree structure. Use this skill whenever Ian asks to "redline", "scrutinize", "pressure-test", "stress-test", "critique", "review the logic of", or "check the claims in" a memo or deck. Also triggers for: "poke holes in this", "what's missing from this memo", "is this IC-ready", "check this argument", "review this investment thesis", "fact-check this deck". For IC memos and investment documents, applies the Six Screening Questions as the primary analytical lens. For other documents, applies pure MECE logic tree analysis. Always produces a structured redline output — not a general summary — that flags specific claims with specific verdicts.

Runs a comprehensive quality and formatting check on Pattern Word documents (.docx) and Pattern investment PPTX decks after they are created. Checks brand formatting, content quality, structural logic, table integrity, header/footer, page numbers, and narrative flow. AUTO-RUNS after any pattern-docx or pattern-investment-pptx output is produced — do not wait to be asked. Also triggers when Ian says "check this", "QA this", "review this doc", "proof this", "quality check", "run a check on this", "does this look right", or "is this ready". Always produces a severity-rated inline issue list with exact locations. Never auto-fixes — list issues only and let Ian decide what to fix.

Write a publication-ready executive summary that compresses completed analytical work into a tight, answer-first synthesis for a senior audience. Use this skill whenever Ian asks to "write the exec summary," "summarize this for IC," "draft the one-pager," "write the opening," "summarize the findings," or "what's the so what on this." Also triggers for: "board summary," "executive briefing," "key takeaways for leadership," "compress this into one page," "write the lede." Works on any completed analytical deliverable: market research reports, IC memos, strategy memos, diligence findings, competitive analyses, investment theses. This skill governs compression discipline — how to reduce 20–40 pages of analysis to 400–600 words without losing the argument or softening the conclusions. It does not govern prose standards (writing-style), claim discipline (writing-style / claim-scrutinizer), or brand formatting (pattern-docx / pattern-investment-pptx). Defer to those skills for their respective responsibilities.

Look up SaaS finance metrics, formulas, and benchmarks fast. Use when you need a quick metric definition, formula, or benchmark during analysis.

Write a structured, publication-ready Investment Committee memo for a PE buyout, acquisition, or strategic investment. Use this skill whenever Ian asks to "write the IC memo," "draft the investment memo," "build the IC package," "write up the deal," "draft the investment thesis memo," or "put together the IC write-up." Also triggers for: "memo for IC," "investment committee write-up," "deal memo," "write up the thesis," "IC-ready memo." This skill governs IC memo document architecture — section structure, length calibration, how the Six Screening Questions map to memo sections, and formatting via pattern-docx. It does not govern: analytical methodology (mckinsey-consultant), Six Screening Questions content (investment-evaluation-framework.md), claim standards (writing-style), logic redlining (claim-scrutinizer), adversarial stress-testing (red-team), or moat evidence methodology (competitive-moat-assessment). Defer to those skills for their respective responsibilities.
