SCORING METHODOLOGY - How We Rank Candidates
The Deal Score (0-100)
Every candidate receives a Deal Score based on origination attractiveness. The score combines:

| Founder actively signalling | +15 | Social signals suggest readiness |
| Deal gossip mentions | +10 | Market awareness of activity |
| Technology validated | +10 | Technical due diligence positive |
| VC analysis mentions | +10 | Investor interest confirmed |
| High mention count (3+) | +5 | Strong signal basis (v1.1) |
Negative Signals (Decrease Score)
| Signal | Points | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Already acquired | EXCLUDED | Deal is done - pivot to acquirer (v1.1) |
| Acquisition pending | -30 | Not currently pitchable (v1.1) |
| Niche/consumer business model | -15 | Harder fit for bank mandates |
| Red due diligence flag | -25 | Major concerns require investigation |
| Yellow due diligence flag | -10 | Moderate concerns worth noting |
| Negative employee sentiment | -15 | Runway or culture issues |
| Customer churn signals | -15 | Traction problems |
| No enrichment data | -10 | Cannot validate company details |
| Low mention count (<2) | -5 | Thin signal basis |
Score Bands (v1.1 Updated)
| Score Range | Classification | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| 65-100 | Priority Target | Call today - prepare pitch |
| 50-64 | Strong Prospect | Call this week - research further |
| 30-49 | Nurture List | Track for catalysts |
| 0-29 | Watch Only | Too early or too risky |
Note: Priority Target threshold lowered from 70 to 65 in v1.1 to account for sparse signal environments.
Model Type Classification
Infrastructure (Alpha Signals): Companies matching: B2B, platform, API, enterprise, infrastructure
Niche (Traps to Avoid): Companies matching: consumer app, D2C, lifestyle, retail
Acquirer Pivot (v1.1 New)
When a candidate is detected as already acquired, the system:
- Excludes the target from scoring (Deal Score = 0)
- Extracts the acquirer name
- Creates an "Acquirer Opportunity" recommending buy-side advisory pitch
- Groups multiple acquisitions by the same acquirer
Editor's note: The scoring model is tuned for investment banking origination. It rewards characteristics that typically lead to successful mandates. In v1.1, we added automatic detection of acquired companies and pivot recommendations.
