Seven profiles. One file, read seven ways.
The investor profile is the second lock that — together with the context — frames the evaluation. The profile determines evidence thresholds, weight calibration and external-verification depth. The same file is read with a different tone under different profiles.
GENERALAll Decision Tables
The balanced profile used when no specific investor profile is set. Evidence thresholds sit at mid-level; the weight matrix relies on context-based calibration. The default profile for most advisory reports.
BALANCED · MULTI-LENS · PRE-READVCVenture Capital
Expects high growth potential, a scalable business model and a clear exit scenario. Market size, team quality, investor relevance and follow-on readiness come to the fore. Higher tolerance for early-stage startups.

Capital preservation and balanced returns take priority. A tendency to avoid high-volatility early-stage investment; stable cash generation, low dilution risk and management quality come to the fore. A long-term partnership tone.
