A term sheet keeps things relatively straightforward by summarizing the most significant deal terms in outline form, whereas the deal documents themselves (often referred to as definitive agreements ) — even for a relatively simple convertible debt financing — inevitably contain some densely written legalese.

How do you assess and find what resources are available, then organize it all, document it, and publish it to make it available? I now realize a better approach is to take the time to set the scope as well as some parameters and definitions. All ecosystem builders I talk to agree that mapping their ecosystem is valuable.

In the 90s, PRDs spanned 20-30 pages and were meant to be the definitive record of every detailed change.

It will likely take years, or even decades, before we have a full tech stack for generative AI and LLMs and a host of transformative applications—though we have reason to believe the impact is accelerated this time around. I actually think we’re going to see an acceleration of creation. I’ve got to go consult documentation.

Trying to hold a complex, multi-stage process with various dependencies entirely in your head or decipher it from a dense document is like trying to assemble a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle in the dark.
