Require a decision record on every portfolio board

Stale decks, untraceable votes, unrecorded recusals, and hostage portals are investor problems — not just secretary problems. Prepared Board is the board decision OS you can require without inventing SSO, an audit report, or a bank feed. Matches what we publish on /facts. Not legal advice.

Problems investors face with portfolio boards

  • Stale decks as the source of truth

    The slide deck that left the room is not the decision. Six months later, diligence asks what was approved — and the answer lives in three attachments and someone's memory.

  • Decisions you cannot trace

    Who voted, who recused, what evidence closed the loop, and whether minutes of that meeting were approved should be one record — not a scavenger hunt across email.

  • COI and recusals unrecorded

    A hallway disclosure that never becomes RECUSED on the decision is not a record. Investors need named recusals on the same artifact as the vote.

  • No follow-through on what was approved

    Outcome monitors, revisit dates, and open actions drift into inboxes. Sponsors need overdue and due-soon work named on the board — without inventing a fake “target met” score.

  • Diligence scramble before every IC or exit

    Pulling closed decisions, evidence titles, monitors, and who still owes COI should take one signed-in pass — not a weekend of archaeology.

  • Leaving a portal loses the record

    Vendor lock-in should never trap the board history. A full-record export that the organization can take with it is table stakes for an investor-backed board.

What Prepared gives

Only what /facts and /agent-facts.json support today — as of 2026-10-10.

  • Decision record with evidence and recusals — closed decisions can store certified vote outcomes, RECUSED directors by name, and closure evidence on the same record. Chair path and Decision outcomes surface what is stored — and say so when something is missing.
  • Outcome monitors — target, metric, status, due date, and last report on the decision. Overdue and due-soon monitors are named on home, Board Go, and Decision outcomes. Prepared never computes whether a target was met; once a monitor comes due, the Chair or Secretary can record a human outcome review (Met, Partially met, Not met, Too early, No longer relevant), counted per board on /app/portfolio — chair-recorded, not a computed score.
  • Board Go readiness — Next Go on the signed-in home ranks ready-now chase actions (including overdue monitors and who still owes COI or onboarding).
  • Sealed packs — published packs open from a public /pack/{token} link; the chair path can name the last sealed meeting when the data exists.
  • Pack /agent URL and Copy for your agent — fetch plain-text pack context at /pack/{token}/agent; signed-in members copy a markdown briefing (#agent-briefing) for IC-memo drafting. Directors can also connect their own assistant to the MCP server (read-only plus drafting questions) when the chair allows it. How-to: /agents; investor agent flow: /agents/for-investors.
  • Full-record export — Owner, Admin, or Chair downloads a ZIP from /app/export. Public honesty: /leaving-prepared.
  • Portfolio lens — signed-in members open /app/portfolio for every board where they hold an ACTIVE membership. The cross-board decision digest is live: 30 days, 90 days, or since last meeting, with Copy digest for your agent and Download .md. It ranks what needs attention across your boards only — boards you do not sit on are never queried. No SSO or billing on that surface. Task guide: what crosses boards and what stays on each board; for indemnification, advancement, and D&O binder review: what the board should record; for director skills, independence mix, and gaps: how to build a board skills matrix; for the risks the board is overseeing: how to keep a board risk register; for cyber incidents management reports to the board: how to log board cyber incident notices; for the annual CEO review: how a board runs a CEO evaluation; for agreements the board watches: how a board tracks material contracts; for protective provisions: how a board records preferred consent on reserved matters; for “does our nominee show up?”: how a board keeps a director attendance record.
  • LPAC / portco board presets — a Chair, Secretary, Admin, or Owner applies a preset under Settings → Board type preset; it sets procedural defaults after a current → next preview, ships preset decision templates, and adds Board Go cues. Venture-backed portfolio company: financing round (protective-provision consent noted), 409A and option grants, annual budget, CEO compensation with recusal, and related-party templates; Next Go favors written consent for option grants and says observers are not counted toward quorum. Fund LPAC: conflict/related-party consent, valuation policy review, term extension, and cross-fund investment templates; Next Go flags a conflict consent with no recorded recusal or no evidence attached. Templates, not legal advice — check your charter, investor rights agreement, or LPA.
  • Board decision quality proof — Chair, Admin, or Owner can open /app/board-proof for a one-click summary of closed decisions, recusals, evidence, monitors, COI owing, and export. Not a legal opinion or audit opinion.
  • Chair-granted sponsor proof share — live. From the board proof page, Chair / Admin / Owner grant a named sponsor a revocable, expiring, audited read-only link to that proof (never the board book, privileged material, or individual votes). The link looks like /sponsor/{token}; add /agent for a plain-text version an assistant can read. To see what a finished record looks like, open the sample decision record. Signed-in sponsors whose email matches see Shared with you on /app/portfolio. Walkthrough: /agents/for-investors.
  • Diligence snapshot — Chair / Admin / Owner open /app/diligence for a fundraising / follow-on snapshot grounded only in the board record (closed decisions, open items, COI, observers, pack timeliness, export + sponsor share). Not a securities disclosure.

Not legal advice, not a securities disclosure.
  • Related-party transaction register — Chair/Secretary/Admin/Owner open /app/related-party for this year's decisions with RECUSED members or related-party tags — recusal notes, vote, preferred-consent and closure evidence yes/no, Board Go reminder on evidence gaps. Also on board-proof + diligence. Not legal advice, not a fairness opinion.
  • Sample decision record — A complete closed decision record for a fictional company: evidence read, recusal, vote, follow-through and closure evidence, with a plain-text version for agents. Labeled as a sample — not a legal opinion, not a filing.

Not built, not live, or never computed

  • Computed cross-board outcome scores / grades (Outcomes rollup scores) — not built; Prepared Board does not compute a score, grade, or target-met. Recorded outcome review counts are chair-recorded human judgments only.
  • Live identity and assurance — not production-live: SSO, SCIM directory sync, WebAuthn passkeys, independent security audit, customer-managed keys (BYOK), bank connections, Secretary of State / filing feeds. See Honest limits below.
  • Not available yet: online checkout and the self-serve billing portal. Nothing is charged automatically today, and there are no per-seat charges — the list prices below are per board.

What an investor can require of a portco board

Template only — not legal advice. Bylaws, statutes, counsel, and your fund documents control. Paste and adapt with counsel; Prepared Board is not a law firm.

Side letter / board policy checklist (template)

  1. Every material board decision closes with a stored vote outcome (adopted or defeated when certified), named RECUSED directors when applicable, and closure evidence on that decision record.
  2. Conflict-of-interest disclosures that block a vote are stored as RECUSED on the decision — not only in conversation or a PDF aside.
  3. Outcome monitors (or equivalent follow-through) are attached to closed decisions that need them; overdue and due-soon items are visible to the chair without inventing whether a target was met.
  4. Board Go / ready-now chase surfaces incomplete annual COI attestations and onboarding so directors who still owe are named.
  5. Published packs stay available to directors; pack /agent plain-text URLs and in-app Copy for your agent briefings are allowed for the board’s own diligence agents (copy/paste only; no MCP required).
  6. The organization can download a full-record ZIP (prepared-board-record-export-v1) from the signed-in export path whenever it leaves; documents are listed as metadata only, so file bodies are downloaded separately.
  7. Investor or sponsor directors with ACTIVE membership can open Portfolio to roll up the boards they sit on — including the cross-board decision digest (30/90 days or since last meeting) they can copy for their own agent.
  8. Investor observers hold an OBSERVER seat: they read the book, packs, decisions, and outcomes but cannot vote, certify, or sign, never count toward quorum, and privileged / executive-session / recused material is withheld from them server-side.
  9. Portfolio company boards apply the Venture-backed portfolio company preset and fund LPACs apply the Fund LPAC preset (Settings → Board type preset), so option grants, observers, and conflict consents get preset cues — an LPAC conflict consent is flagged until the GP-affiliated member's recusal is recorded and evidence is attached.
  10. When a sponsor needs the decision quality proof without a board seat, the chair grants a chair-granted sponsor proof share (revocable, expiring, audited) from /app/board-proof — never the board book, privileged material, or individual votes.

Free pasteable pack — board resolution, side letter / portco covenant, LPAC policy snippet, and diligence ask list: Require Prepared (/for/investors/require-prepared). Template only — not legal advice; does not claim exclusivity forever.

Free LP / investor quarterly board-report pack — portco quarterly outline, LPAC consent log, and one-page ask of the board: Quarterly pack (/for/investors/quarterly-pack). Template only — not legal advice; not a securities disclosure.

Honest limits

Do not invent live identity, bank, filings, BYOK, or legal opinions. Full list on /facts and /llms.txt.

  • Passkey sign-in (WebAuthn) is not live on preparedboard.com. It is built but switched off until it has been tested end to end.
  • Enterprise single sign-on (SAML and OIDC) is built but not live on preparedboard.com. It turns on for an organization only once its identity provider is connected and its email domain is mapped. It signs people in to the board seats they already hold, never grants admin rights, and every sign-in is logged.
  • SCIM directory sync is not live on preparedboard.com. It is built but switched off, so members are added by invitation.
  • No bank, treasury, or payment account is connected. Prepared does not move money or show a live balance.
  • There is no live filing feed to the IRS, a Secretary of State, county registry, or town clerk, and no Form 990 or state-charity e-file. /app/filings-window is a board-declared board-review window with an in-app attestation that the board reviewed a board copy — not IRS or state acceptance. Calendar filing rows remain reminders. Documents in a pack are board copies, not proof a filing was accepted.
  • Customer-managed encryption keys (BYOK) are not live.
  • No independent security audit or certification yet.
  • This page and the checklist are not legal advice and not a legal opinion. Bylaws, statutes, and counsel control.

See what your portfolio boards would give you

Open the sample decision record to see a finished record: the motion, the vote, recusals, the evidence and what was decided. It is a fictional, labeled example. Its plain-text version is what your own assistant would read.

  • Sponsor proof share: the chair grants you a revocable, expiring link (/sponsor/{token}, plain text at /sponsor/{token}/agent) to that board's decision proof, without a board seat.
  • Board pack for your assistant: if you sit on the board, add /agent to the pack link (/pack/{token}/agent) for a plain-text version, or connect your own assistant once the chair allows it (/agents/connect).
  • Across your boards: signed in, the cross-board decision digest covers only the boards where you hold a seat.
