Pre-Mortem Insights

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about the diagnostic, evidence, and privacy.

If your question is not answered here, contact the team before sharing confidential information.

Does this predict failure?

No. The diagnostic identifies whether available evidence is consistent with patterns observed in failed startups and highlights areas that warrant review. It does not calculate a failure probability.

Is the report generated entirely by AI?

No. The initial service uses deterministic mappings, calculations, approved templates, historical context, and human interpretation. AI is disabled by default, and no AI output could be released without review and senior approval.

What information is required?

Company context, structured founder responses, financial and funding history, investor and acquisition information where relevant, current financial position, and selected supporting evidence.

How long does it take?

You can complete the assessment in stages. Review time depends on submission completeness, clarification needs, and reviewer capacity; the expected window is confirmed for each engagement.

How are documents protected?

Production documents will be stored in private storage with access checks, validated file types and sizes, expiring signed links, and an audit trail. They are not placed in a public folder.

Who sees my data?

You and authorised Pre-Mortem Insights reviewers. Senior reviewers can inspect the evidence trail for approval. Partners see individual reports only with founder consent and do not see private evidence by default.

Can I delete my data?

The production service will provide account deletion and data export routes subject to legal, contractual, audit, and retention requirements explained in the approved privacy policy.

Can an accelerator use the service?

Yes. A partner portal is planned for cohorts, participation status, consented reports, and privacy-protected aggregate information.

Is this investment or financial advice?

No. It is structured decision support and is not investment, legal, accounting, tax, or financial advice.

How are historical cases used?

Eligible cases provide anonymised aggregate context. Small groups are broadened or described as insufficient, and names or source details are not shown unless legally permitted and approved.
