# Venture Pitch Builder
This skill produces two linked things from a startup idea: **(1)** a clear, research-backed
**strategy** grounded in the Bling Capital Diligence Playbook, and **(2)** a **living Vite + React
pitch/diligence deck** — a multi-tab web app whose numbers are computed from one model, so the
founder can tune an assumption and watch the whole deck update.
The methodology is in `references/bling-playbook.md` — **read it before mapping research into the
model.** A complete, known-good worked example is in `assets/reference-app/` — that is the canonical
structure to copy and re-theme, not rebuild from scratch.
Work conversationally throughout. This is a collaboration about the founder's business, not a
one-shot generator. Float the strategy, let them push back, then build.

## Step 0 — Interview the founder (before any research)
The idea as stated is almost always underspecified, and the research is only as good as the framing.
Ask **2-3 short shaping questions** with the `AskUserQuestion` tool before researching. Pick the
questions that matter most for *this* idea; good candidates:
- **Who's the customer / who pays?** (the buyer — B2B org, SMB, consumer, marketplace supply side…)
- **Target market & geography** (e.g. US SMBs, EU mid-market, global developers).
- **Stage & purpose** (pre-seed / seed / Series A; raising vs. company-building; rough raise size).
- **Business model** if unclear (SaaS subscription, marketplace take-rate, transactional, usage
