Sector activation — the agency set is selected, not assumed
HealthcareReimbursement-gated

A health startup is never analysed against generic global healthcare trends. It is analysed against the reimbursement path that decides whether anyone can pay for it.

Read the alpha classesIP

IP intelligence is the differentiator.

Check patents, trademarks, repositories, licences, and research. Determine what the IP protects and who owns it—not merely whether the company claims a moat.

  • Does actual IP exist?
  • What does it protect?
  • Who is named as inventor?
  • Was it assigned to the company?
  • What is its remaining life?
  • How broad are the claims?
  • How easily can competitors design around it?
  • Does it correlate with the shipped product?
  • Is assignment recorded, or merely asserted?
  • Did founders create related IP before incorporation?
  • Is there university ownership risk?
  • Could a former employer have a claim?

Resolve the three flagged questions first. They cover ownership conflicts, prior-employer exposure, and missing assignments.

02.3 — Temporal
Time-aware data

The path matters more than the snapshot.

Track hiring, funding, products, and customers to reveal inflection points.
