How we work

1


Review documentation

We begin by reviewing the opportunity as it is currently positioned, evaluating whether the underlying science, maturity, and overall readiness align with the stage it claims to be at. From there, we assess the opportunity across key dimensions, including technical credibility, differentiation, development pathway, strategic relevance, and venture potential.

AI-optimized, Human-verified
Our process is AI-assisted to improve speed and consistency, but every deliverable is reviewed by a human with relevant domain expertise before release. This allows us to move efficiently without sacrificing judgment or accountability.

Risk Report and Next Steps

The final output is designed to be both diagnostic and practical: a clear view of where the opportunity stands today, the main gaps or risks that need to be addressed, and the next steps that can help move it forward.
