What to Have in Place Before Approaching Investors

Produces a prioritized, staged checklist of legal requirements a startup founder must have in place before approaching investors. Distinguishes deal-blockers from standard items and stages deliverables into three phases: pre-outreach, lead-identified, and term sheet. Used when a pre-seed founder asks "what legal stuff do I need before I can raise?" or "am I investor-ready?"
