Summary

Fourteen entrepreneurs used claim-to-input links, printed copies and group rubrics to inspect AI-generated plans.

BizChat linked each generated claim to the entrepreneur’s source input, then embedded evaluation in think-pair-share workshops. Early findings from 14 participants suggest the interface gave discussions concrete starting points and peers supplied knowledge one user lacked. The small study offers design evidence, not measured effects on lending outcomes.
