THE 16 DECISION ARCHETYPES
Psychologies, not impersonations.
An archetype defines a decision lens. It is not a real investor, a named firm, or a finished persona. SimVC combines these lenses with the fundraise frame to generate up to 300 tracked profiles with individual mandates, focus areas, evidence thresholds, and starting positions.

What an archetype contributes
Each family carries a public decision lens, but the simulation does not stop at the family label. Profiles vary in mandate, fund type, focus, evidence threshold, and bias. When several profiles still reach the same root concern, SimVC consolidates it and reports the support count instead of presenting paraphrases as separate discoveries.

Why SimVC never names a real investor
A famous person’s name creates false authority and an impersonation problem without improving preparation. SimVC models decision patterns instead. Names of real investors and firms are prohibited in the generation instructions and scrubbed at output as a separate technical control.
BEFORE THE REAL ROOM
Build a room around your actual raise.
The same 16 lenses produce a different distribution for a pre-seed B2B SaaS round than for a growth-stage consumer raise. Your frame determines the room.
