Map Funder Scoring Rubrics to Concrete Venture Evidence
Deconstruct the funder's evaluation criteria into discrete scoring categories and align each category directly with verifiable venture proof points. Evaluate the strength, relevance, and recency of each evidence item against institutional diligence standards.
This action links abstract funder criteria directly to hard operational, financial, and commercial facts. It prevents over-reliance on narrative claims by forcing every scored statement to be backed by objective proof.
A completed alignment matrix listing every funder criterion alongside assigned weightings, required proof points, and an initial confidence score. The venture must clearly distinguish between direct primary evidence, indirect secondary evidence, and absent data.
