3-Axis Score
Founder, market, and idea-fit are scored independently and never averaged — disagreement between them is signal, not noise.
Founder
Is this person capable of pulling this off?
72improving

Strong clinical-ML substance; under-rated by naive scoring on English fluency — corrected by the legibility engine.

1 evidence point backing this score
Market
BULLISH
Is this a market worth building a fund-scale outcome in?
63improving

Under-served maternal-health AI with grant and payer tailwinds.

Idea vs Market
Does the specific idea survive contact with that market?
66stable

Idea survives; distribution in low-resource settings is the real challenge.

Legibility
A great talker and a great builder can score the same on a deck. This strips out how well the pitch was told, and scores what was actually built.
Raw · the substance, stripped of delivery72
Polished · how good it sounded in the room58
Correction applied — the gap between substance and delivery is removed.
Corrected · what we actually act on72
