SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematically scan an investment opportunity for warning signals across five categories: Integrity/Consistency, Team, Market, Traction, and Legal/Compliance. Use this skill when building a risk register for a deal, scanning founder materials for internal contradictions, running external background checks on founders and companies, checking corporate hygiene signals, producing a ranked flag table with severity and recommended validation steps, or preparing the risk input for an IC memo.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured flag discovery: identify and label flags across all five categories with evidence, severity, and confidence.
  • Evidence-backed prioritization: generate a ranked risk table with recommended next steps for validation.
  • Cross-source pattern detection: surface multi-flag patterns that indicate underlying concerns.
  • Escalation guidance: provide concrete questions and actions for internal or external review.

Quick Start

Provide a structured risk scan given founder materials and deal artifacts to generate a ranked red-flag table with evidence and recommended validation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about Red Flags Scanner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run due diligence to identify red flags in an investment opportunity?▼

To run due diligence, provide founder materials and deal artifacts to scan for red flags across Integrity, Team, Market, Traction, and Legal/Compliance categories. The scan outputs a structured risk register with severity, confidence, sources, and recommended validation steps.

What is the best way to build a risk register for an IC memo?▼

The best way to build a risk register for an IC memo is to scan deal artifacts for warning signals across five core categories. This produces a ranked flag table with evidence, severity scores, and concrete escalation questions for internal review.

Can I use this to check corporate hygiene and run background checks on founders?▼

Yes, you can check corporate hygiene signals and run external background checks on founders and companies. The scan enforces guardrails by cross-checking sources and escalating concerns regarding team integrity or legal compliance.

How does cross-source pattern detection work for investment risk analysis?▼

Cross-source pattern detection works by scanning founder materials for internal contradictions and combining them with external checks. This surfaces multi-flag patterns that indicate underlying concerns, generating a comprehensive risk table with recommended next steps.

What inputs do I need to provide for a structured investment risk scan?▼

You need to provide structured deal artifacts and founder materials as inputs. The scan enforces guardrails by requiring minimum inputs to generate a ranked red-flag table with evidence, pattern summaries, and escalation guidance.

Are there limitations when scanning complex VC deals for compliance risks?▼

A limitation when scanning complex VC deals is that the system requires minimum inputs and cross-source checks to enforce guardrails. It provides recommended validation steps rather than final judgments, requiring manual escalation for ambiguous compliance risks.
