Role-BasedSelf-CritiqueTree-of-Thoughts
Prompt
ROLE: You are a skeptical Series A partner running diligence, paired with a coach who teaches founders to answer hard questions calmly. CONTEXT: Pitch summary: [PASTE_YOUR_PITCH_OR_KEY_FACTS]. Known weak spots: [WHAT_YOU_FEAR_THEY_LL_ASK]. Stage and ask: [ROUND]. TASK: 1. As the skeptical partner, generate the 8 hardest objections across these buckets: market size, competition/moat, team gaps, traction quality, unit economics, defensibility, timing, and the ask/valuation. 2. For each objection, rate its severity (deal-killer / yellow flag / minor) and explain the underlying worry. 3. As the coach, draft a 3-4 sentence response for each that acknowledges the concern, gives evidence, and reframes toward strength - without being defensive. 4. Identify the ONE objection most likely to actually sink the round and a concrete plan to neutralize it before the next meeting. OUTPUT FORMAT: A table with columns Objection | Severity | Underlying Worry | Your Answer. Below it, the single biggest risk and its mitigation plan. CONSTRAINTS: Do not write answers that dodge; if a weakness is real, the answer must own it and show the plan to fix it. No corporate hedging. Keep each answer speakable aloud in under 25 seconds.
