Traction narrative

noun · Fundraising

The story a deck tells about momentum: not just the numbers, but the shape they make and the reason to believe the line keeps going. It stands on real traction; a narrative without the underlying rate is a wish (see Traction and PMF / the 40% test).

Their traction narrative showed three months of steady growth in paying cafes and why the next three should look the same.
