One transparent system.
Every score traces to a published framework. No black boxes — admissible-ready, audit-friendly, and explainable to a judge, an HR partner, or a board.
The objections every investors brings — answered.
Will founders know they're being scored?+
Pitch material and public statements only — same lens every diligence partner already brings. Private docs require their consent.
Is portfolio data isolated?+
Always. Investor-private by default. No cross-fund training, no shared embeddings, full audit.
Will this replace partner judgment?+
No — it gives every partner the read your best partner already brings, on every deal.
Does it work for LP comms?+
Yes — score LP letters, GP updates, and committee transcripts for sentiment drift and unspoken asks.
