Score a VC term sheet and pick your redlines

This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.

Paste the full term sheet, including the option-pool paragraph and the no-shop.

Round, valuation, check size, lead, and current ownership.

Whose interests the scorecard is written for.

The lead and anything you know about how they negotiate.

State of incorporation and which model documents the round is built on.

Watch for these throughout

  • The pool-shuffle calculation is the single most-missed dilution lever, and the model can only run it on the numbers you paste. A stale or partial cap table produces confident, wrong math.
  • Converting SAFEs and notes with caps, discounts, or MFN clauses change post-close ownership materially and are frequently omitted from the term sheet itself. Reconcile against the actual instruments.
  • "Market" figures shift quarter to quarter and by stage, sector, and geography. Treat any percentile or survey reference as unverified until you check it against current data.
  • Drag-along enforceability, fiduciary limits on protective provisions, and minority-stockholder protections turn on the state of incorporation. Delaware answers do not port everywhere.
  • A term sheet is mostly non-binding, but exclusivity, confidentiality, and expense reimbursement usually are. Read those paragraphs as if they were the contract, because they are.
