What Bankability Really Means

Separating story from evidence, appetite from timing, and the few questions that decide whether an idea can survive a committee room—not just a conversation.

The idea

Bankability is often treated as a mood in the room. It is better understood as a small set of testable claims about evidence, appetite, and timing.

Questions to keep

What is assumed true that has not yet been shown on paper?
