The bluffer — fabricated 'ex-Google', unverifiable ARR
Founder Score
A running score for this person, not this pitch — it persists across applications and never resets to zero.
55Apr 01, 25
Inbound application — polished deck
41Apr 02, 25
Trust check: 'ex-Google' contradicted by LinkedIn (contractor)
38Apr 02, 25
Arena: resubmitted planted error unchanged
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?
34declining
Two claims failed external verification (pedigree inflated, ARR uncorroborated). In the Arena, resubmitted the delegated analysis WITH the planted error intact — does not verify subordinate work. Confidence performative, not private.
2 evidence points backing this score
Market
Is this a market worth building a fund-scale outcome in?
44stable
AI-SDR is crowded (Clay, 11x, Artisan). Undifferentiated wedge; TAM real but red-ocean.
Idea vs Market
Does the specific idea survive contact with that market?
31declining
Idea does not survive scrutiny as-is, and no evidence the team is strong enough to pivot out of a commoditized category.

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.

Correction applied — the gap between substance and delivery is removed.
