Your deck will be read quickly.
Get ready for that reading. Below, a real Atelier report on an example dossier: what is clear, what is still to be proved, and the next action that moves your dossier forward.

Dossier preparation is free and takes place by personal invitation. Your space opens when the result is published.
WHAT FLAYNN IS NOT
Not a judge of your company, not a stamp of approval, not an intermediary. Flaynn reads how your dossier is prepared, does not show that dossier to any investor without your consent, and gives no legal, accounting, tax, financial or investment advice.
From deck to preparation
From the deck you submit to the strengthening plan.
- You submit your deck, with your supporting documents.
- Your key figures carry their provenance: verified, declared or inferred.
- Contradictions are named.
- What is missing is listed.
- Your strengthening plan is drafted.
- You decide what to strengthen, and when.
The film
One minute inside a real report.
A full tour of an Atelier report, without sound. The dossier is an example with fictional data, shown in the French interface.

The reading
Every claim, with what it rests on.
Even before submitting, you can prepare the documents an investor looks for: the list is in our guide to preparing your pre-seed fundraising dossier.
Choose a line: this is what a demanding reader does mentally, claim after claim. What you cannot prove remains an intention. Illustrative example, fictional data.
WHAT THE READER CAN VERIFY 01 / 04
The figure is consistent with the filed accounts: it holds up.
WHAT THE DECK SAYS2025 revenue of €148k, in steady growth.
WHAT THE REGISTER SHOWS2025 accounts filed: €147,900 in revenue, consistent with the deck.
NEXT ACTIONNone on this point. For the monthly MRR, attach your billing export: the reader will be able to recalculate it themselves.
WHAT THE READER CAN VERIFY 02 / 04
This runway cannot be recalculated.
WHAT THE DECK SAYS18 months of runway after the €600k funding round.
WHAT IS MISSINGNo cash-flow table and no monthly burn assumption. With €600k and the stated headcount, a reader would more likely reconstruct 11 to 13 months.
NEXT ACTIONAttach a 12-month cash-flow table, with the monthly burn and the hiring assumption.
WHAT THE READER CAN VERIFY 03 / 04
The market is reconstructed, not sourced.
WHAT THE DECK SAYSAddressable market of €2.4 billion in Europe.
WHAT THE READER RECONSTRUCTSA top-down calculation with no source cited. The figure is neither false nor verifiable: it remains an estimate, presented as a fact.
NEXT ACTIONGive the bottom-up calculation: number of target customers, annual spend per customer, share reachable within three years.
WHAT THE READER CAN VERIFY 04 / 04
Three contracts announced, none attached.
WHAT THE DECK SAYSThree contracts signed with industrial mid-cap companies.
WHAT IS MISSINGThe contracts, or failing that, the purchase orders. Without a supporting document, the claim cannot be verified, and it is the first question asked on the call.
NEXT ACTIONAttach the contracts, even redacted, or a letter of intent signed by each customer.
The journey
Eight guided steps, around twenty minutes.
No trick questions, no over-promising asked of you. Every answer is read as it stands: write what you know, not what is expected.
Problem and solution
The problem you are tackling, for whom, and what you have built.
Market and competition
Sector, type of customer, market size and how you estimate it, competitors, defensible advantage.
Traction
Stage, revenue, acquisition: what exists today, backed by figures.
Team
Why you, and who is full time.
Vision and funding round
Amount sought, use of funds, 18-month milestones, priority for the next 6 months, 5-year vision.
Documents
Your deck as a PDF, up to 11 MB, and the additional documents as PDFs, 10 MB each. What is missing does not prevent the analysis: it flags it.
Summary and submission
A review of your answers, then submission of your dossier. No payment.
The four reading signals
A signal about how your dossier is prepared. Not about your company.
None of these signals says whether your project is good. They say what a demanding reader will be able to check, and therefore what to strengthen before sending.
Readable and supported
Key claims are backed by your supporting documents or by the register. The reader moves on without stopping.
WHAT IT SAYSThe dossier is ready to be read. Not that your company is good.
Readable, a few proofs to add
The storyline holds; one or two claims remain declared. The roadmap names them.
WHAT IT SAYSA few supporting documents to attach before sending, without reworking the dossier.
Claims to prove
Several key points cannot be verified as they stand, or contradict each other from one document to another.
WHAT IT SAYSThe reader will stop. The roadmap says where, and what to start with.
Not readable yet
The basic elements are missing or do not fit together. This is not a judgement: it is the starting point of the roadmap.
WHAT IT SAYSStrengthen before sending, with a concrete next action.
Your space
A report, a roadmap, a next action. Always.
The Atelier is not a school report. Every point raised comes with what to do about it, and the space keeps a record of what you have strengthened.
- The full report: score out of 100, 5 pillars scored out of 20, reading signal, inconsistencies found between the deck and your supporting documents, downloadable as a PDF.
- The strengthening roadmap, pillar by pillar, with a next action at the top.
- Your documents: attach the supporting documents that are missing, as PDF, image or link, from your space.
- The questions an investor will ask in a first call, so that you can answer them before they are put to you.
- The French public schemes your company could qualify for (JEI, CIR, Bpifrance aid), mapped from your dossier.

One analysis, by invitation
Dossier preparation is free.
One full analysis, then a new reading if you have reworked the dossier. Submission is through a personal link: there is nothing to pay, and nothing that renews.

Questions
What founders ask us.
What do I need to provide to have my dossier analysed?
A questionnaire in 8 guided steps (identity, problem and solution, market and competition, traction, team, vision and funding round, documents, summary), plus your deck as a PDF. You can attach the supporting documents that strengthen the analysis: business plan, financial model, cap table, shareholders' agreement, letters of intent, customer contracts. Missing documents do not block anything: the analysis flags them as points to prove.
What does the Flaynn report contain?
A score out of 100, the 5 pillars (market, product, traction, team, finance) scored out of 20, a reading signal, the inconsistencies found between your deck and your supporting documents, what remains to be proved, a strengthening roadmap pillar by pillar, the questions an investor will ask in a first call, and a map of the French public schemes your company could qualify for. The report can be downloaded as a PDF.
What happens after I submit my dossier?
Your dossier goes through analysis. You receive an email when the result is published, with the activation link for your space. Nothing is asked of you in the meantime, unless a document raises an issue: in that case we write to you.
What if the signal is not the one I expected?
The report says what remains to be proved, pillar by pillar, with a next action. Once the dossier has been reworked, a new reading can be requested on invitation from Flaynn: take the time to strengthen the dossier before requesting one.
Does my dossier stay confidential?
Yes. The application and the database are hosted in the Frankfurt region (Germany). To produce the analysis, technical service providers process your dossier, sometimes outside the European Union (see the privacy policy). By default, your dossier and your report are visible only to you and to the Flaynn team that prepares it. Flaynn does not show your dossier to any investor without your consent.
Do I need to create an account to start?
No, and you cannot start on your own: submission is through a personal link received by email. You fill in the questionnaire and attach your deck from that link, without paying anything. Your space is created when the result is published, through an activation link sent by email.
Prepare your dossier before it is read under pressure.
A report, a roadmap, a next action. You submit, Flaynn Intelligence reads, you strengthen.
