The Quant Edge: Probabilistic Foresight for Capital Allocation

Bayesian inference, Real Options pricing, and Monte Carlo–driven models calculate portfolio outcomes and risk trajectories in real time — providing predictive visibility across vintages and stages.

Expected Valuation Delta

The modeled change in a startup's expected valuation in future rounds based on its latest execution data.

Identify whether founder actions are creating or eroding enterprise value before the market.

Survival Forecast (90 days)

90-day operational survival forecast combining execution activity, traction signals, and consistency metrics to predict portfolio resilience.

Early-warning radar for portfolio risk: Forward-looking risk signal, enabling proactive support and sharper follow-on decisions.

Insight Layers

Execution Layer

Execution (EV)

The speed and consistency of founder activity — experiments, iterations, and learning cycles per week.

EV is the strongest behavioral predictor of survival and early traction.

Signal Layer

Traction Efficiency™ (TE)

How efficient in generating market signals is the founder's go-to-market activities.

Validated signals increase with execution volume

Performance Layer
High EOR = efficient execution
Low EOR = wasted motion

Execution-to-Outcome Ratio™ (EOR)

Sharpe Ratio for founders: indicates performance per unit of effort. Filters noise from activity.

How effectively execution converts into measurable progress.

Portfolio Insights

Teams with shorter pivot cycles outperform slower peers by 1.8x in Expected Valuation Delta.

Founders in the top quartile of Execution Velocity show 2.6x higher Expected Valuation Delta over the last 6 weeks.

Founders validating more than two channels within 30 days achieve 3x higher acquisition efficiency.
