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?
80improving
Twelve years inside a national grid operator — rare regulatory and technical domain depth. Ships steadily.
1 evidence point backing this score
Market
Is this a market worth building a fund-scale outcome in?
76improving
Grid flexibility is a policy-tailwind, high-budget market as renewables scale.
Idea vs Market
Does the specific idea survive contact with that market?
74stable
Idea survives; the regulatory moat is real but sales cycles are long.

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.
