# Pitch Slate

> Run a startup pitch contest that judges can score and winners can use. Enter the pitch block you were given, the
> judges with what each holds, and what the winner gets item by item, and get the contest designed in the right order -
> prize before funnel, the investor conflict rule set before anyone reads an application, a format the block can
> actually hold, a rubric split into what a judge can observe and what a company only claims - then the published call
> and the judge briefing. Built on the SkillSafe skill @samber/startup-pitch-contest, from
> samber/dev-event-organizer-skills (MIT), by Samuel Berthe. Not legal, securities or investment advice: capital,
> convertible instruments and equity go to counsel, contest-law classification goes to counsel whatever the award, and
> each judge's own disclosure obligations go to their own institution.

## What is free
- The three gates answered and routed: capital, a convertible instrument or equity (counsel before the announcement), a sponsor's signed say in who pitches or wins (the hard case; a stage slot is not for sale), recording or press without prior notice (cannot be retrofitted).
- Every award item checked before the funnel: a named party, committed in writing, a delivery date - or it is not announced.
- The four ranked menus (prize, conflict rule, funnel, pitch format) re-ranked against the interview, each move naming the answer behind it, ruled-out rungs deleted.
- Each judge's interest (access, backwards, own institution, undeclared) and handling, and a judge x applicant conflict matrix (direct, backwards, undeclared).
- The published route written as a sentence, and the block arithmetic: the slot plus question time plus walk-on and walk-off against the block less deliberation and the announcement buffer - every minute the organizer's own.
- The rubric split into observed and claimed: integer weights summing to 100, the top-weighted criterion observable in the slot, claimed dimensions tied to an application field, published before applications close.
- The challenge window against the first delivery, the six-item pass threshold, a verdict (ready to publish the call, fix first, or blocked by a gate), and exports: the award list (.md), a scoring sheet and the conflict matrix (.csv), everything (.json).
- The page never recommends a pitch length, slate size, judge count, application volume, acceptance rate, prize amount or equity percentage.

## The metered lanes
Two tasks on gpt-terra, metered per run, routed by `task`. Input string fields: `task` (plan or call), `event`, `judges`, `awards`, `applicants` (may be empty) and `facts`.
- `plan` replies with `summary`, `disclaimer`, `verdict`, `gates`, `awards`, `conflict`, `funnel`, `format`, `rubric`, `announcement` and `caveats`; the page holds the verdict, gate statuses, award calls, picks, interest lines, arithmetic and weights to its own.
- `call` replies with `call` (title, who it is for, the route, what to submit, criteria and weights, awards, recording, conflict statement, dates, contact), `briefing` (rule, declarations, contact protocol, scoring, contest path), `disclaimer` and `note`; it is offered only when no gate is open.
