## Assembly notes

- Host as a single link (Notion/Docsend/folder). Order sections exactly as above — narrative first, legal last.
- Every demo artifact keeps its "fictional demo venture" label inside the data room too — honesty compounds in diligence.
- The research files contain competitor quotes using vocabulary we never use ourselves; that's fine in a research appendix (quoted as *their* language) but never in our own narrative docs.
- Before sharing: re-verify the flagged numbers (`brand/investor-pack/numbers.md` traps section).
