Biotech Pitch Deck Narrative

Structured biotech fundraising narrative design with explicit scope limits.

When to Use

• Use this skill when the task needs a biotech pitch narrative, investor-facing section rewrite, or fundraising story structure grounded in available scientific and business inputs.
• Use this skill for academic writing tasks that require explicit assumptions, bounded scope, and a reproducible output format.
• Use this skill when you need a documented fallback path for missing inputs, execution errors, or partial evidence.

Key Features

• Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Use biotech-pitch-deck-narrative for academic writing workflows that need structured investor-facing storytelling, explicit assumptions, and clear output boundaries.
• Packaged executable path(s): scripts/main.py.
• Reference material available in references/ for task-specific guidance.
• Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

See ## Prerequisites above for related details.

• Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
• dataclasses: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.
• enum: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.

Example Usage

cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Academic Writing/biotech-pitch-deck-narrative"
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

Example run plan:

1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
3. Run python scripts/main.py with the validated inputs.
4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

• Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
• Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
• Primary implementation surface: scripts/main.py.
• Reference guidance: references/ contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists.
• Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
• Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Quick Check

Use this command to verify that the packaged script entry point can be parsed before deeper execution.

python -m py_compile scripts/main.py

Audit-Ready Commands

Use these concrete commands for validation. They are intentionally self-contained and avoid placeholder paths.

python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

Workflow

1. Confirm the financing stage, investor audience, available evidence, and non-negotiable claim boundaries.
2. Check whether the request is for a full narrative, a single section rewrite, or high-level messaging guidance.
3. Use the packaged script for supported stage and audience framing; otherwise provide a manual narrative scaffold without inventing data.
4. Return a structured deck narrative that separates assumptions, value claims, evidence status, and open diligence gaps.
5. If scientific support or market context is missing, stop and request the minimum additional inputs.

Use Cases

• Seed deck messaging for platform biotech companies
• Rewriting a science-heavy section for generalist investors
• Preparing a risk-aware investor Q&A scaffold

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
--stage	string	No	seed	Financing stage (pre-seed, seed, series-a, series-b, series-c, ipo)
--audience	string	No	generalist-vc	Target investor audience
--input	string	No	-	Input deck or source file path
--output	string	No	optimized_narrative.json	Output file path

Returns

• Investor-facing narrative scaffold
• Stage- and audience-aware positioning cues
• Explicit note where evidence is missing or claims require validation

Example

python scripts/main.py --stage series-a --audience biotech-specialist

Risk Assessment

Risk Indicator	Assessment	Level
Code Execution	Local Python script execution only	Medium
Network Access	No external API calls	Low
File System Access	Optional local file input and JSON output	Medium
Instruction Tampering	Standard prompt-guided workflow	Low
Data Exposure	Sensitive fundraising content remains in workspace	Medium

Security Checklist

• No hardcoded credentials or API keys
• No unauthorized file system access (../)
• Claims are tied to supplied evidence, not invented data
• Regulatory and clinical statements remain bounded
• Output path reviewed before overwrite
• Error handling does not imply completed diligence
• Market-sizing claims require user-supplied assumptions
• Legal and scientific review remains mandatory

Prerequisites

No additional Python packages required for the packaged entry point.

Evaluation Criteria

Success Metrics

• Script path parses successfully
• Help output documents supported framing options
• Narrative remains within supplied scientific and commercial evidence
• Missing data triggers explicit assumption or stop conditions

Test Cases

1. Basic Functionality: Help output and script parse succeed
2. Edge Case: Missing evidence triggers bounded fallback
3. Output Quality: Claims, risks, and diligence gaps stay clearly separated

Lifecycle Status

• Current Stage: Draft
• Next Review Date: 2026-03-20
• Known Issues: Live market validation and competitive diligence still require external review
• Planned Improvements:
  • Safer section-level examples for audit coverage
  • More explicit investor Q&A output modes

Output Requirements

Every final response should make these items explicit when they are relevant:

• Objective or requested deliverable
• Inputs used and assumptions introduced
• Workflow or decision path
• Core result, recommendation, or artifact
• Constraints, risks, caveats, or validation needs
• Unresolved items and next-step checks

Error Handling

• If required inputs are missing, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
• If the task goes outside the documented scope, stop instead of guessing or silently widening the assignment.
• If scripts/main.py fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.
• Do not fabricate files, citations, data, search results, or execution outcomes.

Input Validation

This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of biotech-pitch-deck-narrative and include enough context to complete the workflow safely.

Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond:

biotech-pitch-deck-narrative only handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill.

Response Template

Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:

1. Objective
2. Inputs Received
3. Assumptions
4. Workflow
5. Deliverable
6. Risks and Limits
7. Next Checks

If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
