SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “The pitch deck has been open for six months and I still can't send it”, including the private rule underneath it: If I send the deck and it comes back cold, that will not read like a normal investor pass. It will read like proof that I was never right to build this in the first place, so keeping it unsent feels safer than learning that answer in…
QUIET
“The pitch deck has been open for six months and I still can't send it” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “This is a funding decision, not a report card on my intelligence.”
PRESENT
“The pitch deck has been open for six months and I still can't send it” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “A pass would tell me about fit and timing, not whether the deck is worth finishing.”
ACTIVE
“The pitch deck has been open for six months and I still can't send it” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Open a blank note and write two headers: “If they pass, I fear it means…” and “If they pass, it could also mean…”. Fill each with three short fragments, then close the note without touching the deck.
DOMINANT
Right now, “The pitch deck has been open for six months and I still can't send it” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Open a blank note and write two headers: “If they pass, I fear it means…” and “If they pass, it could also mean…”. Fill each with three short fragments, then close the note without touching the deck.
