## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the fair valuation range for a Seed stage startup proposing $5M, with comparable multiples of [4, 5, 6], a stage metric score of 0.8, and a market multiplier of 1.0?
```

**Response:** 
```
The fair pre-money range for this proposal is between $4.8M and $6.0M, which means the $5M proposal is within the fair range.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much negotiation leverage does a founder have if the proposed valuation is $10M, the fair range is $7M-$9M, deal heat is high (0.8), and stage metrics are strong (0.9)?
```

**Response:** 
```
The founder has high negotiation leverage due to the strong stage metrics and high deal heat, despite the proposed valuation being at a premium.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a $15M valuation aligned with the current market if the market multiplier is 0.9 and comparable multiples are [10, 12, 14]?
```

**Response:** 
```
The valuation shows a low market alignment score as it significantly exceeds the adjusted median of the comparable multiples.
```
