# SeedAngels Platform Help

SeedAngels (**seedangels.ai**) is an AI business-planning tool that turns your inputs into a **synced
business plan, pitch deck, and financial forecast** (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) formatted for banks
and investors, plus a set of **free analyzers and generators** (Startup Idea Validator, Pitch Deck
Analyzer, Business Plan Analyzer, Lean Canvas, Business Model Canvas, Startup Valuation Tool, Dilution
Calculator). Its differentiator in a crowded cluster of AI plan generators: the **AI is deliberately
constrained on the numbers** — financial statements are built from *your* assumptions rather than
invented — and the **deck and plan share one data source**, so changing an assumption updates both and
you never get a deck-vs-plan mismatch. It's **UI-only, no API**; EUR-priced with a **generous free tier**
and a **one-time Complete Pack**.

## Step 1 — Gather context

If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask only what you can't infer from the user's prompt:

1. **Where are you?** (a) about to generate a plan/deck/forecast in SeedAngels, (b) staring at an
   Analyzer score (Pitch Deck / Business Plan) unsure what to fix, (c) deciding free vs the one-time
   Complete Pack or how many AI tokens you need, (d) running a free tool (Idea Validator, Lean Canvas,
   valuation/dilution calculator), (e) asking whether it has an API/export/integration.
2. **What stage is the idea?** (just an idea, have a rough plan, prepping for a bank loan or investor
   round) — this decides whether the free tier is enough or the Complete Pack's analyses matter.
3. **What have you got so far** — a hunch, an AI score, a landing page, a waitlist, or someone offered
   to pay? (Frames whether SeedAngels output is the right next step or a demand test is.)

Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.

## Step 2 — Route or answer directly

SeedAngels is one AI planning tool. Much of what a founder needs is tool-agnostic — route it:

| The user's real question | Route to |
|---|---|
| Should I trust this plan/verdict? How do I actually validate? Comparing plan/validator tools | `/sales-idea-validation` |
| Build the smoke-test / fake-door landing page the demand test runs on | `/sales-funnel` |
| Grow a pre-launch waitlist and capture signups | `/sales-audience-growth` |
| Reddit-based real-demand signal to cross-check the plan's assumptions | `/sales-trendseeker` |

When routing, give the exact command: "This is a validation-method question — run: `/sales-idea-validation {the user's original question}`"

Answer **directly** only for SeedAngels-specific mechanics (the synced deck+plan model, the Analyzers'
criteria/themes, the free tools, AI-token costs, free vs Complete Pack gates, "does it have an API").

## Step 3 — SeedAngels platform reference

**Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full reference — the synced deck+plan data model, the
free tools (Idea Validator's 9 dimensions, Pitch Deck Analyzer's 34 criteria / 8 themes, Business Plan
Analyzer's 30 criteria, Lean Canvas / BMC, valuation & dilution calculators), the Complete Pack's gated
analyses, AI-token economics, pricing, the (absent) automation surface, and how to get data out.

Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the whole guide.

## Step 4 — Actionable guidance

- **A fundable plan is a document, not validated demand.** A polished, bank-ready plan + deck + forecast
  *feels* like proof, but it's generated from your assumptions — no stranger has paid. Keep the
  structured parts (market/competition analysis, personas, GTM) to sharpen the pitch and satisfy a
  lender; take the actual go/no-go from a real behavior test. Route that test to `/sales-funnel` +
  `/sales-audience-growth`.
- **Lean into what makes SeedAngels different: the numbers are yours, not the AI's.** Unlike most plan
  generators (which invent TAM/SAM/SOM and 3-year financials), SeedAngels **generates the statements
  from assumptions you enter**. That's its strength — so the output is only as good as your inputs.
  Enter defensible assumptions (real pricing, realistic conversion, honest costs); the P&L / balance
  sheet / cash flow will be internally consistent but still only as credible as those numbers.
- **Use the synced deck+plan on purpose.** Because the pitch deck and business plan share one data
  source, **change an assumption once and both documents update** — this eliminates the classic
  "the deck says €2M ARR, the plan says €1.4M" discrepancy investors catch. Do your number-changing in
  the source, not by hand-editing exports.
- **Mine the free Analyzers before paying.** The **Pitch Deck Analyzer** (34 criteria across 8 themes,
  scored) and **Business Plan Analyzer** (30 criteria mirroring SeedAngels' own build structure) are
  **free** and critique an *existing* deck/plan — run them to get a prioritized fix list even if you
  built the deck elsewhere. The **Startup Idea Validator** (first run free) gives a 9-dimension read
  (problem, pain severity, personas, SAM, competitors, differentiation, cost structure, breakeven,
  go/no-go) — treat its verdict as directional, not demand.
- **Budget AI tokens; choose free vs Complete Pack by what you actually need.** The **free tier** covers
  the Lean Canvas, forecast input, interactive reports, and the synced deck+plan. The **one-time
  Complete Pack (a single purchase, not a recurring subscription)** unlocks market/competition analysis, client-persona analysis, cash-flow analysis,
  valuation/financing, and **exports**, and includes a batch of AI tokens; extra tokens are cheap
  per-unit and are spent on **generating** expenses, revenue streams, and plan summaries. If you only
  need a lean canvas and to model numbers, the free tier may be enough; pay when you need the deeper
  analyses or the export/PDF.
- **There's no API — point automation at the demand test, not the plan.** SeedAngels is UI-only (no
  public API, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP); output leaves as a **PDF** (export is Complete-Pack
  gated). Don't plan an integration around it — if you need the output elsewhere, **export the PDF and
  copy the statements by hand**. **Whenever someone asks how to automate, sync, or export the plan/
  forecast, make the redirect explicit: a generated plan is not validated demand, so the highest-value
  pipeline lives on the demand side — landing-page analytics, waitlist capture, and pre-sale checkout
  events (those expose real APIs and produce actual evidence), not the SeedAngels report.**
- **Present all pricing/token costs as best-effort** and tell the user to confirm at seedangels.ai —
  it's a small, fast-moving indie tool and pricing is EUR-denominated.

If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there.

## Gotchas

*Best-effort from research (2026-07) — SeedAngels is a small indie tool; verify tiers, AI-token costs, and the Analyzer criteria at seedangels.ai.*

- **A bank-/investor-ready plan is not demand.** The plan, deck, and forecast are generated from your
  inputs; a fundable-looking document is neither validated demand nor a loan approval. Always follow
  with a real-behavior test (smoke test / pre-sale).
- **"AI constrained on the numbers" ≠ the numbers are correct.** SeedAngels avoids *hallucinating*
  financials by building them from your assumptions — but garbage assumptions in, internally-consistent
  garbage out. The forecast's credibility rests entirely on the assumptions you enter, not on the AI.
- **Export is gated.** The free tier lets you build and view the synced deck+plan and interactive
  reports, but **exporting** (and the deeper analyses) require the **one-time Complete Pack**. Don't
  promise someone a downloadable PDF on the free tier.
- **AI tokens are a separate meter.** The Complete Pack includes a batch of AI tokens; generating
  expenses, revenue streams, and plan summaries **spends tokens**, and extra tokens are bought
  per-unit. Iterating heavily can burn through the included batch.
- **EUR-priced, bank-standard framing.** Pricing is in euros and the plan's "banking standards
  compliance" is oriented to European lenders; a US SBA package may need different structure — verify
  against your lender's requirements.
- **The free Idea Validator is one run.** Your *first* idea validation is free; additional validations
  in the app consume tokens. It's an AI opinion (9 dimensions), not demand.
- **No API, webhooks, Zapier, or MCP.** UI-only; the only export is PDF (Complete-Pack gated). Don't
  build automation on it.

## Examples

### Example 1: "SeedAngels gave me a full plan, deck, and forecast — am I ready to raise?"
**User says**: "I built a bank-ready business plan, pitch deck, and 3-statement forecast in SeedAngels. Am I ready to go to investors?"
**Skill does**: Reframes the deliverables as generated documents (built from the founder's own assumptions), not validated demand — keeps the structured parts (market/competition analysis, personas, GTM) to sharpen the pitch and satisfy a lender, but prescribes the real test: a smoke-test landing page with a pre-committed conversion threshold, then a pre-sale, routing the build to `/sales-funnel` and signups to `/sales-audience-growth`. Notes SeedAngels' edge (numbers from your assumptions, synced deck+plan) means the forecast is only as credible as the inputs.
**Result**: The founder pressure-tests real demand and their assumptions before betting a raise on a polished document.

### Example 2 (pricing/tokens): "Do I need the Complete Pack, or is the free tier enough?"
**User says**: "I just want a Lean Canvas and to model my numbers. Do I have to pay for SeedAngels, and what are the AI tokens for?"
**Skill does**: Answers from the plan gates — the **free tier** covers the Lean Canvas, forecast input, interactive reports, and the synced deck+plan, so modeling numbers is free; the **one-time Complete Pack** is only needed for market/competition and persona/cash-flow analyses, valuation/financing, and **export**. Explains AI tokens are a separate meter spent on *generating* expenses, revenue streams, and plan summaries (the Pack includes a batch; extras are cheap per-unit). Marks pricing best-effort — confirm at seedangels.ai.
**Result**: The user stays on the free tier for now and only upgrades when they need exports or the deeper analyses.

### Example 3 (automation): "Can I pull my SeedAngels forecast into my model via API?"
**User says**: "I want to sync my SeedAngels financials into my own spreadsheet/model automatically — is there an API or webhook?"
**Skill does**: States plainly that SeedAngels is **UI-only — no public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP**; output leaves as a **PDF** (export is Complete-Pack gated). Offers the realistic path: export the PDF and copy the statements by hand, and — since a plan isn't demand anyway — point any real pipeline at the demand side (landing-page analytics, waitlist, pre-sale events), which do have APIs and produce evidence.
**Result**: The user stops trying to integrate a UI-only tool and puts automation where it pays off.

## Troubleshooting

### The plan/forecast looks polished but I don't trust it
**Symptom**: A clean, bank-ready plan and 3-statement forecast the founder senses is too optimistic.
**Cause**: SeedAngels builds the statements from *your* assumptions — it won't hallucinate numbers, but it also won't correct unrealistic inputs (pricing, conversion, costs), so an over-optimistic assumption flows straight through to a consistent-but-wrong forecast.
**Solution**: Re-enter defensible assumptions (real pricing, honest conversion and churn, realistic costs), re-check the synced deck and plan agree, and validate the underlying demand with a smoke test / pre-sale before relying on the numbers. Cross-check market assumptions with `/sales-trendseeker`.

### My Pitch Deck / Business Plan Analyzer score is low — what do I fix first?
**Symptom**: The free Analyzer returned a low score with lots of feedback.
**Cause**: The Pitch Deck Analyzer scores 34 criteria across 8 themes and the Business Plan Analyzer 30 criteria mirroring SeedAngels' build structure — the feedback is a long prioritized list, not a single fix.
**Solution**: Work the themes/criteria with the lowest scores first (usually problem clarity, market/traction, and the financial ask), regenerate, and re-run the free Analyzer to confirm the score moved — the Analyzers are free and re-runnable, so iterate before paying for the Complete Pack.

### I can't export / download my plan
**Symptom**: The deck/plan built fine but there's no download.
**Cause**: **Export is gated behind the one-time Complete Pack** — the free tier lets you build and view the synced deck+plan and interactive reports, but not export them.
**Solution**: If you need a downloadable PDF, buy the Complete Pack (it also unlocks the deeper analyses and includes AI tokens); if you only need to model numbers on-screen, the free tier is enough. Confirm current gating at seedangels.ai.
