SaaS Business Health Diagnostic vs Board Deck Narrative

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

By Dean Peters (PM)

Diagnose your SaaS business health, spot red flags, and prioritize what to fix first.

Board Deck Narrative

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Build a complete slide-by-slide storyline for your board presentation with talking points.

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

• Assesses business health across four dimensions: growth & retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, and strategic position
• Identifies red flags and categorizes them by urgency (critical, high priority, medium priority)
• Applies stage-specific benchmarks so early-stage businesses aren't judged by scale-stage standards
• Delivers a comprehensive scorecard with clear, prioritized action items
• Connects metrics together to reveal systemic issues (e.g., strong growth masking poor unit economics)

Board Deck Narrative

• Creates a complete slide structure for board presentations with narrative flow and timing
• Builds slide-by-slide content guidance including scorecards, revenue deep dives, strategic updates, and financial summaries
• Generates presenter notes and talking points for each section
• Structures board asks and decision points clearly
• Provides quality checks and narrative principles for effective board communication
