Stanford PPM

Does the Stanford PPM contain enough information to send out to investors, or is it just the "basics"- IE what other information, if any, do you suggest adding in addition? I am considering putting together a small slide deck with my thesis and research.

In my experience investors prefer the Stanford PPM as it a signal that one has done a certain amount of research into the model. And in that regards I believe it goes beyond the 'basics'. I would go as far as to say an impactful PPM could be a bit shorter than the Stanford PPM. So yes. In terms of adding a not explicitly outlined section it would be 1) one's unfair advantage as it relates to ones sectors of focus.
