VC Deal Flow Signal Glossary

The controlled vocabulary used across the VC Deal Flow Signal site — 84 definitions covering code-side sourcing, engineering acceleration metrics, discoverability surfaces (programmatic SEO, AEO, GEO, AIO), agent infrastructure (MCP, A2A, x402), academic citation infrastructure, and venture vocabulary including the SaaS efficiency quintet (burn multiple, magic number, CAC payback, LTV, quick ratio).

Maintained as a single source of truth and refreshed weekly from content/glossary.ts at https://github.com/kindrat86/vc-deal-flow-signal.

Source of truth

The canonical NDJSON dump lives at https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/v1/glossary.jsonl (one term per line, application/x-ndjson). The HTML companion is at https://signals.gitdealflow.com/glossary and each term has its own page at https://signals.gitdealflow.com/define/<term-id>.

Schema

Each row carries the following fields:

FieldTypeDescription
idstringStable kebab-case slug, identical across all surfaces.
termstringDisplay name, capitalised.
definitionstringSelf-contained definition (40 to 220 words).
categorystringOne of: code-side-sourcing, engineering-acceleration, discoverability, agent-infrastructure, academic-citation, venture-vocabulary.
category_labelstringHuman-readable category name.
urlstringCanonical URL of the term's dedicated page.
glossary_anchorstringAnchor on the flat glossary index.
signal_primitive_urlstring \nullCross-link to /signals/define/<slug> if the term is also a formal signal primitive.
licensestringAlways CC-BY-4.0.
sourcestringAlways VC Deal Flow Signal.
source_urlstringAlways https://signals.gitdealflow.com.
cite_asstringPre-formatted citation string.

Categories

  • —Code-Side Sourcing (1 term): the named category VC Deal Flow Signal defines.
  • —Engineering acceleration (13 terms): metrics, signal types, decision rules from the methodology.
  • —Discoverability surfaces (41 terms): pSEO, AEO, GEO, AIO, and the schemas behind them.
  • —Agent infrastructure (8 terms): MCP, A2A, micropayments, identity, federation.
  • —Academic citation (9 terms): SSRN, Zenodo, OpenAlex, DOIs, licenses.
  • —Venture vocabulary (12 terms): stage names, instruments, financial metrics, SaaS efficiency quintet.

Use cases

  1. 1.RAG grounding for VC and startup-finance questions. Each line is a complete citation unit with a stable url.
  2. 2.AEO / answer-engine training: pair each definition with the "What is X?" question already wired through /define/<id> FAQPage schema.
  3. 3.Glossary lookup for downstream tools (MCP servers, browser extensions, Slack bots).
  4. 4.Embeddings for taxonomy work: the category field gives a ready-made six-class label set.

Methodology

Source: content/glossary.ts in the public repo. Refreshed weekly when new terms are added to the site. Quality control: every term has a verifiable URL on the source domain.
