Claims and evidence

Know which claims are verified before the partner meeting

Every material claim keeps its definition, period, units and sources, and one of four labels: founder reported, corroborated, disputed or unresolved.

  • Claim tracker and labels Pilot
  • Research and Ask This Deal First release
The four labels

A claim from slide 4 of the deck, 20 enterprise customers, is founder reported. In the interview at 07:42 the founder says 12 of them are unpaid pilots. Both statements are kept with their sources, the claim is marked Disputed, and a task to check paid contracts is assigned to Sam Okafor.

What a claim is

A number is only useful with its definition, period and source

“20 customers” means little until you know who counts as a customer, as of when, and where it was said. Every claim in Delsivo keeps those fields.

Evidence labels

Four labels, and the text is always shown

Colour is never the only signal. Each label says where a claim stands today, and changes only when a person agrees.

  • Founder reported

    Stated by the founder in the deck, a form or the interview, not yet checked.

  • Corroborated

    Backed by a document, a data room file or an analyst's check.

  • Disputed

    Two sources disagree. Both versions are kept and cited.

  • Unresolved

    Not enough evidence either way yet. It becomes a question or a task.

When sources disagree

The deck says 20 customers. The interview says 12 are unpaid pilots.

Neither statement is thrown away. Both stay with their sources, the claim is marked Disputed, and someone is asked to check.

FAQ

Questions about claims

All questions

Both statements are kept, each with its source, and the claim is marked Disputed. A verification task is created for an analyst. For example, a deck that says 20 enterprise customers and an interview that clarifies 12 are unpaid pilots keeps both claims.

A person. AI can suggest that a document supports a claim, with the citation, but an analyst accepts, edits or dismisses the suggestion. The label changes only when someone on your team agrees, and the change is in the history.

No. A new statement is added beside the old one, with its own source and date. The history shows what was said, when and where, so a partner can see how a number moved during the process.

No. Labels, tasks and notes are internal to your fund. Founders see the requests you send and their own answers and files, never how your team rated them.
