Methodology Overview

A weighted-average model translating qualitative diligence into a comparable composite.

[Placeholder] The Investibility Score™ is engineered to make heterogeneous opportunities comparable without flattening their texture. Each assessment yields a composite score (0–100) computed from 24 weighted questions across 4 institutional dimensions, a band classification, and an analyst overlay.

Composite Formula
S = Σ ( wᵢ · dᵢ ) − π( risk ) + α( signal )
S
Composite Investibility Score (0–100)
wᵢ
Dimension weight (4 dimensions, Σ = 100)
dᵢ
Normalized dimension score (weighted avg. of 6 questions)
π
Penalty function for unresolved risk
α
Analyst-applied signal adjustment, bounded ±5
Analyst note: The α adjustment is the only place individual judgment is permitted to move the score. All other inputs are deterministic.
§ 10

Scoring Framework

Bands, thresholds, and the actions each band triggers.

Band
Range
Action
AInvestible
85 – 100
Advance to Strategic Review.
BPromising
70 – 84
Conditional advance with analyst notes.
CDevelop
55 – 69
Hold for re-assessment in 90 days.
DNot Ready
< 55
Decline with documented rationale.
Classification policy: A score may only move bands via formal re-assessment. Cross-band overrides require Strategic Review approval.

Qualification Rules

The gate logic that decides who advances, who waits, and who is declined.

Qualification Gate
Q = ( S ≥ θ ) ∧ ( ∀ d ∈ critical · dᵢ ≥ ϕ ) ∧ ( risk = clear )
Q
Qualification outcome ∈ {pass, hold, fail}
θ
Mandate-specific composite threshold
ϕ
Floor for any critical dimension
risk
Outcome of risk register review
Critical dimensions are mandate-specific. Failure on a single critical dimension is sufficient to fail the gate, regardless of composite.

2026 · Q2
Version 1 launch architecture: instrument condensed to 24 questions across 4 institutional dimensions; weighted-average methodology ratified.
v3.1.0
2025 · Q2
Rebalanced Capital Readiness weight from 10 → 12.
v3.0.0
2025 · Q1
