Meta — AI Bankability & Investor Readiness Skill
Overview
SaaS bankability scrutiny (Rule of 40, LTV:CAC, NRR, burn multiple) is necessary but no longer sufficient for AI-feature-led plans. AI-specialist funds (a16z AI, Index AI, Bessemer AI, Cohere founders fund) and AI-aware DFIs (IFC AI envelopes, AfDB AI-for-development) apply an additional bankability lens: are you running AI like a CFO, or like a feature team?
This skill installs the AI bankability scorecard that sits on top of the SaaS bankability scorecard and the CAMPARI lending lens. It is the discipline behind the AI-specific investor diligence partner's first session.
Use When
- AI-feature-led SaaS plan is preparing for fundraise, DFI submission, or AI-for-good grant
- AI is material to revenue or product thesis
- Existing bankability score is "good SaaS" but the AI dimensions are unmeasured
- Plan is pricing in an AI valuation premium (
meta-ai-valuation-adjustments) and must justify it
- Investor diligence has flagged AI economics or governance gaps
Do Not Use When
- AI is internal-efficiency only — use
meta-bankability-scoring standard SaaS layer
- Plan is bank-loan only (CAMPARI is the binding lens; AI bankability is supplementary)
