The agenda is the coverage specification. Every line names the dimension it evidences, so a question the meeting never reached becomes a gap against that dimension rather than a silence nobody notices.
The execution review while a transaction is actually in flight, weekly because the dates are short. Terms, conditions precedent and confirmatory work each carry their own line, so the room can see which conditions are still open with days left on the exclusivity rather than discovering it at signing.
Also called: Deal stand-up · Documentation review · Closing checklist · Syndicate call · Signing prep
7 lines in the full specification, 2 of them scoped to a stage — so any one transaction is measured against 5–7 of them. Run every 7 days. The order is the running order.
2 of these 7 lines are stage-scoped. A flat agenda asks every row the same questions regardless of where it has got to, which manufactures gaps that are not gaps — and false gaps drown the real ones, which is the whole reason an uncovered question is allowed to mean something here.
Lines shown are the stage-scoped ones. The rest are in force at every deal stage.
Each carries a weight in the roll-up. A dimension with no evidence behind it is not scored at a middle value — it renders as unknown, and below the coverage floor the row reads never covered rather than green.
What was agreed, what has moved since, and whether the movement was accepted.
Post-close ownership, fully diluted, with the option pool where it was agreed.
Draft status, open points, and whether the papers say what was agreed.
What must be true before funding, who is clearing each one, and by when.
Who else is in, for how much, and whether their commitments are firm.
Whether a date exists, holds, and has everything behind it that it needs.
Because each line names a dimension, the gap scanner can say which one went uncovered and for how long. These are the four states it raises, and each one is a different problem with a different fix.
The line has never been reached in this room. The dimension has no evidence at all.
It was raised and the room moved on without landing an answer.
It was covered, but not within the 7-day cadence this room type expects.
There is an answer and an action, and nobody's name is against it.
Deal Execution Rooms is one of eleven configurations of the same engine. The demo runs on fictitious transactions and sample data — every number traces back to something somebody said in the room.
