What graded looks like

Nine dimensions scored. Two layers of synthesis. One grade per claim.

Each dimension is scored against evidence, not vibes. The two synthesis layers turn the scores into the part you actually use: what this startup proves, and the one move worth copying.

The validation engine

Every teardown runs through a claim graph. Each figure becomes a node, each node hunts its own primary source, and a judge pass grades what survives: Verified, Corroborated, Claimed, or Unverified. It launches here, free, in its own week.

No upsell hiding behind the free lane.

Want the full teardown on your company?

Name your startup and we run the same 9+2 method on you: every dimension, every claim graded, every source linked. Launch pricing is $29.99 for your first one, any scope. The price goes up once the queue fills, so the first movers get the deepest read for the least.

New editions, when the evidence clears.

One startup at a time, replaced when the next one passes the source pass. No weekly theater. Leave an email and you’ll know the moment an edition ships.
