Company Narrative Consistency Check
One true company story for every audience: a narrative spine, then a check that investor, team, candidate, and customer messages agree.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
That's an important challenge. Having a consistent message is key for building trust. You'd want to develop core talking points about your company's mission and values. Then you can adapt those points slightly for different audiences. Employees want to know about culture and where the company is going. Investors care about market opportunity and traction. Customers want to know how you solve their problem. You might create a brand guide or messaging framework. Do you have a mission statement? What are your key differentiators? I could help you think through how to frame these for each audience.
CORE NARRATIVE: WeTransfer 2.0 ONE TRUTH (tested hypothesis): Engineer-to-engineer workflows break because sync tools were designed for IT, not developers. We fix developer velocity by automating the toil. AUDIENCE-SPECIFIC FRAMING: INVESTORS: Focus: TAM + Traction + Unit Economics Narrative: "25M engineers globally waste 6 hrs/week on manual toil. Our bottom-up motion captured 150 accounts, 12% MoM growth, 89% retention. Target: 10% penetration = 1B ARR." Talking point: How we avoid Slack problem (free layer, enterprise packaging) EMPLOYEES: Focus: Mission + Career Path + Why Here Narrative: "We're building the operating system for developer teams. Joining now (Series A) means you ship for millions of engineers, own a function, and own equity that 10xs if we hit 1B." Talking point: Why we say no to non-developers (product-market fit tool, not platform) CUSTOMERS: Focus: Problem → Solution → Proof Narrative: "Code review merging steals your best engineers 2 hours weekly. Our 3-click workflow integrates GitHub and Slack to automate it, saving 10+ hours/team/month." Talking point: How customers measure ROI (hours saved × engineer cost/hr) CONTRADICTION AUDIT: Claim (Investors): "We're at $2M ARR" Claim (Employees): "We're early, lots of runway ahead" Resolve: "2M ARR with 18-month capital = plenty of time to 5M before next round" REFLECTION ACROSS NARRATIVES: ✓ Engineers always centerpiece (not "users") ✓ Developer efficiency always the lever (not enterprise bloat) ✓ Traction is real; mission is ambitious but grounded
About this skill
Employees read investor updates, candidates talk to employees, and customers read your careers page. This skill makes sure every audience hears the same facts, with the emphasis that audience needs.
What it does
- Builds a one-page narrative spine: where we are, why, what is next, key numbers with definitions and dates, and what is not sayable yet
- Audits your materials for contradictions: metric definitions, stale numbers, runway, hiring claims during a freeze, roadmap promises, departure stories
- Quotes both sides of every contradiction and proposes fixed wording from the spine
- Reframes one message for another audience without changing the facts
- Checks sequencing so nobody inside learns a major fact from outside
What you get
A narrative spine, a contradiction table with quotes and fixes, sequencing issues, and spine gaps.
Best for
Founders and chiefs of staff before a raise, board meeting, all-hands, pivot, layoff, or leadership change.

description: Keep one true company story consistent across every audience - build a one-page narrative spine (where we are, why, what's next, the key numbers with their definitions and dates), then audit investor updates, all-hands decks, board materials, recruiting pitches, customer messages, and the website for contradictions before they are sent. Use when the user says "check our messaging is consistent", "does the all-hands match what we told investors?", "we're telling different stories to different people", "write our company narrative", "reframe this update for the team", or "will this investor update contradict what we told employees?".
