One company first. Then the portfolio, on one method.

Either. A fund can commission the first Truth Score Read, in diligence or on a portfolio company’s AI proposal. AI Value Tracking is always bought by the company’s own leadership. Every fee is fixed and agreed before we start.

No. Start with one company and one decision, and judge us on one memo. The portfolio comes later, if the first read earns it.

Same pillars, same rules, same caps, so a 64 is built the same way at each company. Where a pillar is not assessed, the memo says so, and you can see when two scores rest on different evidence.

We take a limited number of reads at a time, so every red flag is checked by hand. For a portfolio we agree a sequence, one or two companies in parallel, each memo within 5 working days of complete exports.

No. We don’t publish benchmarks we don’t have. Comparisons are between companies you’ve had read on the same method.

Yes. The exports come from the company, and management sees every finding and the records behind it. We write the memo for the CEO or CFO as well as for you, because they make the decision and own the fixes.

We are new, and we would rather say so. That is why the method is published, including the cap that stops strong pillars hiding a weak one. Every finding points to records you can check yourself, and the scope line says exactly what we didn’t check. You can stop at the memo; nothing obliges you to go further. Our first clients get a founding rate in exchange for a private reference call once they’re happy, only with their consent. We never name a client, fund or target publicly without written consent.

The Truth Score is rule-based: the same data, scored on the same date, gives the same score, and no AI model decides it. We do use a language model (Anthropic’s Claude, through its commercial API) to read the plan or proposal you send and to help draft the memo’s wording from our findings. A person checks every line before it reaches you. If you’d rather we didn’t use it on your engagement, say so and we do that part by hand.

It arrives as exports only, under NDA and our data processing agreement. No logins and nothing installed. The full list of sub-processors comes with our data processing agreement, before any data moves. Any transfer outside the EU is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses. Raw exports are deleted after the engagement; we keep quality metrics, not your records.

A fixed fee, agreed before we start, that never moves with the verdict. It is a small fraction of the proposal it tests; if it wouldn’t be, we’ll tell you on the call.
