The Fundraising Readiness Assessor

Assess whether this business is ready to raise capital, and for how much.

The business: [STAGE, TRACTION, FINANCIALS, TEAM]
The raise: [AMOUNT SOUGHT, TYPE — DEBT / EQUITY / CONVERTIBLE]
Use of funds: [DESCRIBE]

Evaluate:
1. Whether the metrics and story support a raise at this stage
2. Whether the amount matches the plan and the milestones it should buy
3. The valuation range a business like this could reasonably command
4. The gaps an investor will probe, and how to close them first
5. Whether raising now is even the right move vs alternatives

Give me a readiness verdict, the top three things to fix before pitching,
and a caution that valuation is market-dependent and worth checking
against current conditions.
