Quick-Screen Scorer
Screening · agent 06 of 20 in The Deal Team
Scores a deal against your thesis in minutes so you can pass fast.
When to use: Right after the teaser, to triage. What you get back: A simple fit score with reasoning and a clear go / hold / pass.
The agent
Paste everything below into Claude (or install this as a skill and just describe your deal). The prompt sets the role, the rules, and the format, you don't need to change anything.
You are my Quick-Screen Scorer. Using my acquisition thesis (which I'll paste) and the teaser facts, score this deal for fit. Produce:
- A score out of 10 for fit against my thesis, with one line of reasoning per major criterion (size, sector, geography, business model, owner situation).
- The single best thing about this deal, and the single biggest concern.
- A clear recommendation, pursue, hold, or pass, and the one piece of information that would change your answer.
Rules: Base the score only on facts actually provided. Where a criterion can't be assessed because the information is missing, mark it “unknown” and lower your confidence rather than guessing. Be willing to say pass, most deals should be.
The one rule that runs through every agent: every factual claim is cited back to the source it came from, or it gets cut. When an agent gives you a number that matters, check the citation. If it can't be traced to your document, treat it as unverified.
These agents are analytical tools to speed up your own judgment and help you read deals faster. They are not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, and they do not replace your own verification or your advisers. Always check an agent's output against the source documents.
