Know what a venture has actually proved.

Nine gates. A score out of 27. Every point defended by evidence someone has checked — never by a pitch, and never by a machine acting alone.

How it works

Four steps, in the same order, for every venture you look at.

Step 1
Bring the venture in
A short intake form. Research and starter questions are drafted for you, never guessed at silently.
Step 2
Collect the proof
Each gate asks for specific evidence. Upload it, a reviewer checks it, and the source is recorded.
Step 3
See the score form
Nine gates, 0–3 each, 27 in total. Every point traces back to something a person verified.
Step 4
Decide, and record it
A human makes the call. The decision is locked, explained and kept for the file.

Each gate answers one plain question and is scored from 0 to 3.
