The Evidence Pack
A document, not a dashboard. Investors forward it as it is.

One page of a real report reads like this.

Every sentence either cites a source, cites a comparable, or says “Inference”. If a source was unreachable when we ran, the report says so instead of guessing.

Problem & Market — 72 / 100

Weight 20% · 3 sources · 2 comparables · 1 inference

Founders in this category launched twelve validation tools on Hacker News since 2020, four of them in the last eighteen months[S1]. Two comparable Spanish companies reached seed and remain active[C1][C2]; one shut down within two years of its first raise[C3]. Google News carries no recent coverage of the category[S2].

Pricing below €50 a month will be compared with free alternatives by the first ten customersInference. The strongest evidence for demand is the founder's own waitlist, which we could not verifyUnverified.

How the score is built.

Traction & Validation25%Starts from the three views’ average confidence; higher when the analysis finds traction signals.
Problem & Market20%Starts from the views’ confidence; higher when the analysis covers market trends or competitors.
Solution & Differentiation20%Starts from the views’ confidence; higher when the analysis names clear differentiators.
Fundability & Narrative20%Starts from the views’ confidence; higher when two or three of the views say GO.
Team & Execution15%The views’ confidence, slightly discounted. Your answers only; we do not scrape founders.
R1
Cited or labelled.A claim carries [S] for a signal, [C] for a comparable, [B] for a base rate, or the word Inference. There is no fifth kind of sentence.
R2
Sources that failed are reported.If Product Hunt or a news feed was unreachable, the pack says “unavailable at 14:02 UTC”, not nothing.
R3
No model, no report.When the language model is down the run fails visibly. We never ship a placeholder that looks finished.
R4
Free data first.Public registries and open directories today; Crunchbase and Dealroom only when they add evidence you would pay for.
Sources
What we read for every run, and what is being added. Status is honest.
