Why this report exists

Pitching a venture inside a corporation is its own discipline.

The audience is not deciding whether to back a founder. They are deciding whether to commit the company's assets, people and reputation, which means every section has to carry proof rather than ambition, and the ask has to be something they can actually say yes to.

The pitch does not fail on the idea. It fails on the section that carried no evidence.

What changes

Nine sections, each with its checklist and its traps.

Every section names the proof it has to carry, the mistakes that sink it, and the tools to build it with.
