100-POINT ASSESSMENT
Five distinct assessment pillars
Innovation
Originality, competitive differentiation, proprietary depth, barriers to replication, internal innovation capability and future R&D.
Viability
Demand, market understanding, revenue model, go-to-market, funding, financial credibility and operational feasibility.
Scalability
Structured growth, repeatability, scalable economics, acquisition, skilled employment and national/international expansion.
Founder–Business Fit
Relevant experience, technical/product capability, commercial leadership, genuine contribution and day-to-day execution role.
Evidence & Credibility
Product evidence, customer validation, market research, funding, IP, regulatory understanding and consistency across the case.
NOT JUST A PERCENTAGE
Evidence matters as much as the claim.
We distinguish between what a founder says and what can be substantiated. A potentially strong proposition may still require substantial evidence before it is ready for full development.
- E0No supporting evidence
- E1Founder assertion
- E2Credible secondary support
