How is an evidence-linked evaluation different from an AI startup score?
A single score compresses many judgements into one number that is hard to question. An evidence-linked record shows each claim, where it appears, what is missing and what to ask next, so the committee can discuss the reasoning instead of the number.

What a committee needs from screening
Committees need to explain why an application moved forward or did not. That requires the underlying claims and gaps, not only a ranking.
How Zurvek approaches it
Zurvek does not issue scores, grades or recommendations. It produces a standardized IC memo per startup, a claim ledger linked to deck pages, a five-role adversarial review, risk dimensions and committee questions, sealed as a decision record.
Worked example (synthetic)
In the synthetic Aster & Moss sample, the review roles disagree on repeat purchase. The record shows the claim, the challenge, the evidence available, the resolution and the impact on committee questions.

- A structured record takes longer to read than a number.
- It does not rank startups against each other automatically.
Questions
Can I see a full example before signing up?
Yes. The public sample evaluation is a complete synthetic committee record.
