  5. Decline the rest

    Held

The plan as it runs: each step waits for the one before it, and stops at its gate until the owner approves.

Ask Operator

Start it in a sentence

Ask Operator in chat. It drafts the plan for your fund, and nothing runs until you release it.

  • You

    Triage this week’s new deals and draft declines for the ones that don’t fit.

  • You

    Clear my deal inbox against our thesis.

  • You

    Which new deals deserve a first call?

The outcome

Your deal inbox is empty: the fits are in first call with a task to book it, and the rest are passed with a reason and a decline.

What it proves

  • Refreshes every deal’s intelligence on release, and retries one that fails for a moment.
  • Scores each deal against your thesis and cites the record behind every reason.
  • Moves, books and declines in a few grouped approvals; a reworded decline comes back alone.
  • Sends decline emails to founders only after you approve them.
  • Shows you every score and reason, and an analyst only the counts.
