Every claim in your deck — cited, signed, defended
Investors red-team your numbers before you ever reach term sheets. ThriveFinity's Sentinel process runs the same scrutiny first — so the version you send is bulletproof.
What it is
An adversarial audit before your deck leaves your hands
Pre-Launch Verification is not a proofreading pass. It is a structured interrogation of every claim you plan to make in front of capital — conducted by a named human analyst, grounded in cited evidence, and returned as a signed verdict you can stand behind.
If a claim cannot be verified, it is flagged. If it can be strengthened, the replacement is provided with a source. If the logic chain between numbers breaks down, you see exactly where and how to fix it before an investor does.

Five phases. Zero hallucinations.
Primary source ingestion
Every assertion is sourced against live primary data before analysis begins. Unverifiable claims are flagged at entry — not buried in the report.
- Sources: PatentsView, DataForSEO, Tavily, Companies House + 7 more
- TAM/SAM/SOM methodology stress-tested
- Competitor claims cross-referenced
Internal logic audit
Verified claims are checked for consistency across slides. Revenue vs. growth assumptions. Problem size vs. pricing. Contradictions mapped precisely.
- Cross-slide consistency check
- Financial model assumption review
- Logic chain gaps documented
Adversarial red-team
Each claim is placed under the strongest investor objection. Where evidence is insufficient, a replacement claim is drafted with stronger grounding.
- Investor objection simulation per claim
- Evidence-to-objection pairing
- Replacement claims drafted where needed
Structured verdict document
Findings assembled by slide, claim, and status. Format mirrors what a VC diligence team would produce internally.
- Slide-by-slide verdict structure
- Status: verified / flagged / replaced
- Inline source citation per finding
Named human sign-off
One named analyst signs the report. A person — named, contactable, responsible for every finding. Council tier: their name on your deck cover.
- Named analyst signature on every report
- Council: verifier name on deck cover page
- 3 rebuttal rounds (Audit + Council)
What we check
Every layer of your pitch under scrutiny
Market size claims
TAM, SAM, and SOM figures traced to primary sources. Methodology challenged. Bottom-up vs top-down logic tested.
Revenue projections
Growth assumptions stress-tested. Unit economics checked for internal consistency. Conversion rate claims benchmarked.
Traction & metrics
User counts, MRR, engagement rates, and retention figures reviewed for definition consistency and credible framing.
Competitive positioning
Competitor comparison matrices checked for accuracy. "No direct competitor" claims challenged. Moat assertions tested against public evidence.
Team & credential claims
Background statements, prior exit claims, and advisor credentials verified against public records. Misattributions flagged.
Social proof & press
Awards, press mentions, partnership announcements, and testimonial quotes traced to primary sources. Inflated claims reframed.
Why not just…

The cost of not verifying
One challenged claim costs more than the audit
The investor challenge
An investor flags a market size claim mid-pitch. You can't defend it in the room. The meeting ends. You spend 3 weeks rebuilding credibility, re-pitching, re-scheduling. The round slips by 6 weeks.
Estimated cost: £30,000–£80,000 in runway consumed during delay
The post-term-sheet pull
Due diligence uncovers a contradiction in your traction numbers. The lead investor requests a corrected information memorandum. Legal fees and re-negotiation delays cost you co-investor confidence. The round shrinks.
Estimated cost: £50,000–£200,000 in dilution or lost participation
The verified pitch
Every claim arrives cited. Every objection is pre-answered. You walk in with a signed report. The investor's diligence becomes confirmation rather than interrogation. The round closes on schedule.
Cost: £0 (Teardown) · £499 (Audit) · £1,999 (Council)
