[VENTURE_NAME] — Venture Brief¶
Template placeholder. Replace all bracketed content. Keep the three-part structure below (Known Facts / Working Assumptions / Open Questions) — it exists specifically to keep speculation from being written down as fact.
Known Facts¶
Statements here should be verifiably true as of the last-reviewed date — things established by decision, evidence, or documented record, not inference.
- [Fact 1 — e.g. "This venture is a wholly owned venture of Devonshire Digital LLC."]
- [Fact 2]
Working Assumptions¶
Statements the venture is currently operating on, but which have not been independently verified or are subject to change as more evidence arrives. Each assumption should note what would change it.
- [Assumption 1 — what it is, and what evidence would confirm or overturn it]
- [Assumption 2]
Open Questions¶
Unresolved questions that materially affect venture direction. These should be tracked here until answered (and then moved to Known Facts or retired).
- [Open question 1]
- [Open question 2]
