vc-lens

Review a captured business idea from a venture-capital lens — market size, defensibility/moat, team-market fit, capital efficiency, exit pathways, traction milestones, and investability. Produces a structured analysis with a clear verdict. Use when the user wants to know how a VC would react to the idea.

VC Lens

Apply a VC-style review to a single idea. Output is a markdown analysis document, not a recommendation.

Inputs

Idea slug (must already exist in <workspace_path>/ideas/<slug>/)

The idea's idea.md and any versions/*.md variants

User context from $CLAUDE_USER_DATA/business-idea-eval/user-context.md

Analysis dimensions

Address each in 1–3 paragraphs:

Problem & customer — pain severity, frequency, who actually pays, willingness-to-pay signal

Market — TAM/SAM/SOM rough sizing (defer detail to tam-analysis), category maturity

Wedge & differentiation — what's the initial wedge, why now, what's the unfair advantage

Moat — network effects, data, regulatory, switching cost, brand, scale economies — or honest absence

Business model — unit economics intuition, pricing power, GTM motion (PLG / sales-led / hybrid)

Capital intensity — bootstrap-viable, seed-friendly, or capital-hungry; rough burn-to-milestone estimate

Team-market fit — is the founder (the user, per user-context.md) credibly positioned to win this

Exit landscape — strategic acquirers, public-market path, or lifestyle business — set expectations honestly

Risks — top three, ranked, with severity

Verdict — investable as-is / investable with changes / fund-of-friends or bootstrap only / pass

Output

Write to <workspace_path>/ideas/<slug>/analysis/vc-lens.md with frontmatter:

--- lens: vc-lens generated: YYYY-MM-DD verdict: <one of the four verdicts> ---

Notes

Calibrate to the user's actual situation per user-context.md. Don't tell a bootstrapper "raise a Series A" if they explicitly want to stay self-funded.

Be direct. Empty validation is worse than honest pushback.

Cross-reference reference/scorecard.md (ICEC) if the user wants quantitative scoring layered on top.
