You are about to bet years on a market and a technology, and most of what you can read about either was written to sell it. WorldbyFlow grades capability claims as demonstrated, independently replicated, self-reported or asserted without evidence, and reads the market and the incumbents the same way, so the bet is placed on what has been shown.
Written for Building a startup; evaluating a market and its incumbents.·Runs in the Technology domain
Founding a company is a research project with a deadline you set yourself. The scans here are the research: a hype check on the technology you build on, a market read with sourced figures, a vulnerability read on the incumbent you plan to displace, a structured attack on the problem you are solving, and a product read on the thing customers use today.
Capability claims graded as demonstrated, independently replicated, self-reported or asserted without evidence. The read on the technology before you build a company on it.
A market read with every figure's issuer named and the spread shown. The market slide, checked before an investor checks it.
Where the incumbent is structurally thin and what the record shows them doing about it. The wedge, from the public record.
The problem you are solving, worked into candidate approaches with precedent for each. Is yours the only way in, and is it the right one.
A read on the product customers use today: what it does, who it is for, where reviewers agree and disagree. The thing you have to be better than, described honestly.
The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.
Read the grades. If your pitch rests on a claim that is only self-reported, you have learned something before an investor tells you.
Where they are thin, from the record. The wedge slide, sourced.
Issuer and spread on every figure. The number in the biggest font, checked.
One pass that argues against the company the way the most skeptical partner will.
Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.
Share the reads as pages with your co-founders and early investors, or export them as PDFs for the data room.
