Founder due diligence,
done before you meet.
OMISP measures founders the way credit bureaus measure borrowers — continuously, on evidence, against a fixed rubric. This page explains exactly what goes into the score you see on a founder profile.
What OMISP due diligence is
A repeatable rubric, not a reference call.
Traditional early-stage diligence is expensive and inconsistent: a deck, two calls and a gut read. OMISP replaces the first pass with a standardised assessment every founder on the platform completes, scored out of 100 across six dimensions.
The output is a single number with a full breakdown behind it — dimension scores, the evidence that produced them, and the history of how they changed. You decide who to meet using the same data for every founder.
The six scoring dimensions
Six dimensions, 100 points, one comparable score.

How the assessment works
Four steps to a verified score.
- 01
Structured intake
Every founder answers the same adaptive diagnostic — business model, market, traction, team and unit economics. Answers are recorded, not self-reported marketing copy.
- 02
Behavioural testing
Pitch sessions against adversarial AI personas and turn-based startup simulations capture how a founder decides under pressure, not just what they claim.
- 03
Evidence and milestone review
Progress claims require artefacts — documents, screenshots, models, metrics. Evidence is stored privately and reviewed before it can move a score.
- 04
Continuous re-scoring
The score moves as the business moves. Every shift is logged with an explanation, so investors read a trend line, not a snapshot.
Why the score holds up
The score can't be faked. It can only be earned.
Verified over claimed
Nothing enters the score without a recorded in-product action or reviewed evidence. Founders cannot type their way to a higher number.
Explained movement
Each score change carries a written rationale and the dimension it affected — the audit trail an IC memo needs.
Comparable across the index
Same dimensions, same weights, same review standard for every founder, so two profiles can be read side by side.
Discovery threshold
Founders become visible in OMISP Capital deal flow at a score of 70+, so the index surfaces signal rather than volume.
