Board/advisory fit and reputational-risk assessor
Evaluates an incoming board or advisory approach against the scholar's platform focus, available time, and reputational risk criteria to produce a structured fit and risk verdict.
In / outApproach details + scholar platform criteria + time availability → fit and risk assessment with recommended next step
You might say…
“A company wants me on their advisory board and I can't tell whether it's a good use of my credibility or a slow drain on it.”
What it does
Given an inbound approach (company, stage, sector, mission, the specific ask) plus your stated authority and red lines, produces a structured go/no-go read: is the ask coherent with your distinctive perspective (vs. wanting a generic name), what is the reputational risk of association, and a recommendation with reasoning. Used right after an approach lands, before any exploratory call or terms talk.
Trigger: Use when an approach for a board or advisory seat arrives and before any exploratory conversation, to assess whether it clears the basic fit and risk bar.
