In early-stage applications, founders often try to win by adding more detail. In practice, consistency is usually more valuable than volume. Reviewers lose confidence when answers conflict across the form.
What consistency means
- the same target user appears across sections
- the same problem statement is repeated in a stable way
- the same traction narrative appears in deck and form
Why detail can backfire
Extra detail increases the chance of contradictions. When contradictions appear, reviewers spend time resolving ambiguity instead of progressing your evaluation.
