Private-company contradiction log template

This dataset is a reusable worksheet for recording conflicts between claims, operating assumptions, supplied evidence, and observed facts during a private-company first-pass review.

The template is intended for investor screening, IC preparation, advisory work, accelerator review, or founder self-review. It helps convert a vague concern into a testable management question and a named evidence request.

Files

—contradiction-log-template.csv: six blank working rows, each seeded with a common review area;
—synthetic-example.csv: one completely fictional worked example showing the expected level of specificity.

Fields

Field	Use
`id`	Stable reference for the open item
`review_area`	Market, traction, product, team, financial, or risk context
`claim_a`	The first claim, copied without strengthening it
`claim_b_or_observed_fact`	The connected claim or constraining fact
`why_they_may_conflict`	A neutral explanation of the possible conflict
`evidence_needed`	The document, data, or test that could resolve it
`question_for_management`	One answerable question for the next discussion
`materiality`	High, Medium, or Low
`status`	Open, Explained, or Confirmed

Suggested workflow

1.Extract claims from the pitch deck, model, notes, and supporting files.
2.Connect assumptions that depend on each other across sections.
3.Add supplied or public facts that constrain those claims.
4.Rank possible conflicts by their ability to change the investment or operating case.
5.Name the evidence and management question that could resolve each item.
6.Keep unresolved items next to the eventual memo or decision record.

Explained means that a coherent explanation has been recorded. Confirmed means that supporting evidence has also been reviewed. Neither status says that the reviewer must agree with the underlying plan.

Tool context

This open template is maintained as an educational resource by DDScore.ai, a Finnish product that structures private-company materials across 12 due diligence dimensions and surfaces strengths, risks, missing evidence, and open questions. DDScore supports human judgement and full due diligence rather than replacing either.
