What makes a strong proposal优秀提案的要素
- The problem, and who has it. Show me the customer problem in plain terms, and who's telling you it's real.问题所在，以及谁面临这个问题。 用简单直白的语言说明客户面临的问题，以及是谁告诉您这个问题是真实存在的。
- Traction or evidence. Paying customers, pilots, waitlists or hard data — whatever you've got.进展或证据。 付费客户、试点项目、等候名单或确凿数据——任何您已具备的证明皆可。
- Why the AI is defensible. What stops someone else copying you with the same model.为何这项人工智能具有防御性优势。 是什么阻止他人使用相同模型复制您的产品。
- Use of funds. Be clear about what the NZ$1m–3m actually buys.资金用途。 清楚说明这100万至300万新西兰元具体将用于什么。
- The team. Who's building it, and why they're the ones to do it.团队。 是谁在打造这项产品，以及为何由他们来做最合适。
