Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Obra Cfo Tools (3)

deck_blueprint

Return the framework for a fundable pitch deck at your stage: the slide structure with an evidence bar for each, the research to run first (as paste-in prompts for your Claude), and the artifacts to produce before the deck exists (business plan, pricing, go-to-market). Use this when you have no deck yet or a weak one. It reads your Obra CTO report if present. Then build the deck and ask the CFO to rank it.

prepare_assessment

Read the founder's funding materials (deck, plan, financials, one-pager) from a local path and return their contents with a rigorous assessment rubric. YOU, the host model, then assess them (separate facts from assumptions, extract the thesis, rate each dimension with evidence and confidence, find the weakest assumption, run the six-persona committee) and call score_funding_readiness with the structured result. Reads the Obra CTO report if present so technical claims rest on verified evidence. Materials stay local.

score_funding_readiness

Turn your structured assessment (from prepare_assessment) into a stage-calibrated funding-readiness dashboard: investment score, confidence, risk register, the facts/assumptions/opinions ledger, your weakest assumption, what must be true, the unknowns, and the investment committee. Reads the Obra CTO report for technical risk.
