Sep 28, 2025Ever had an IC memo derailed because assumptions felt soft or limitations read like boilerplate? In this lesson, you’ll learn to separate must‑be‑true assumptions from confidence‑capping limitations—and write both in decision‑grade, PE-ready language that accelerates approval velocity. You’ll get a surgical framework, real IC-style examples, and quick drills (MCQs, fill‑ins, and edits) to lock the micro‑style, source discipline, confidence levels, and placement near the model. Finish with a map you can drop into a high‑stakes memo—tight, quantified, and ready for Partner scrutiny.

Sep 28, 2025Do your IC memos sound polite—but indecisive—when partners scan for a clear “go” or “no”? In this lesson, you’ll learn to encode decision strength directly into your verbs and build tight frames that assign ownership, triggers, and timelines—so recommendations accelerate approvals and risks activate real controls. You’ll get surgical explanations, PE-grade examples, and rapid drills (MCQs, fill‑ins, and error fixes) that mirror red‑team IC simulations with mobile-first flow. Finish with crisp, boardroom-ready lines that lift approval velocity and signal executive presence—no fluff, NDA-safe throughout.

Sep 28, 2025Do IC readers have to decipher your numbers before they can judge your deal? In this micro‑lesson, you’ll learn a precise house style for PE memos—making every figure instantly readable, comparable, and auditable, with clean ranges, correct dashes, clear units/currencies, and explicit inclusivity. You’ll get surgical explanations, boardroom‑ready examples, and quick drills (MCQs, fill‑ins, error fixes) to lock the habits for valuation defense, risks, and sensitivities. Finish with a checklist you can apply in 30–90 seconds to accelerate approval velocity and elevate partner‑readiness.

Sep 28, 2025Do your IC memos still bury the decision under polite throat‑clearing and soft verbs? In this lesson, you’ll learn to cut 25–35% of words while sharpening meaning—upgrading headings, verbs, numbers, and assumptions so Partners get the “so what” in one scan. You’ll find surgical explanations, PE‑grade examples, and micro‑drills (MCQs, fill‑ins, error fixes) to hard‑wire a three‑pass workflow that accelerates approvals and elevates executive presence. Discreet, mobile‑first, and coach‑tuned for NDA‑level workflows—zero fluff, all decision speed.
