You finished. The system is yours.

Commit velocity

The simplest acceleration signal — 14-day vs 90-day ratio.

Contributor diversity

The bus-factor signal — Gini coefficient at month -3.

Dependents graph

The hidden GitHub page — cheapest external-adoption proxy.

README freshness

The cheapest leading indicator — a README rewrite is a pre-pitch.

New repo creation rate

The platform-buildout tell — SDKs, CLIs, demos shipping fast.

Issue-to-PR ratio

Engagement vs shipping — 1.5+ healthy, 0.7- firefighting.

The composite + the fast version

Six signals → one score → 4,200 orgs in 4 seconds.

Pick three real candidates

Three orgs from your own pipeline — one boring, one obvious, one wildcard.

Score candidate #1 end-to-end

The boring one — six signals, 15 minutes, one composite.

Score candidate #2 — the obvious one

The startup you already liked — does the framework agree?

Score candidate #3 — the wildcard

The unread one — where the framework earns its keep.

Compare all three — which signal carried the read?

Three composites side by side — and the signal you almost skipped.

Calibration — score a known recently-funded org

Pick a Series A from last quarter. What did the composite say at month -3?

Week 2 wrap — your first scorecard

Three composites, one calibration, one personal heuristic. That's a real artifact.

Build a 10-org watchlist

Ten orgs, one sector, scored once, queued for weekly recheck.

Set the weekly Monday rhythm

25 minutes every Monday, before email — the cadence that compounds.

Sector batch — 25 orgs in 25 minutes

When a sector heats up, sweep it broad before going deep.

Score-driven founder questions

Five questions, each seeded by a signal — sharper than 'tell me about traction.'

Score one portfolio company retroactively

Pick the worst-performing investment. What did the composite say at term sheet?

30-second pre-read for first meetings

One glance at the composite before you walk in — and you're already ahead.

Week 3 wrap — your operational system

Watchlist + Monday rhythm + sector-batch + question library + pre-read.

Set alerts on score moves

When does a score change matter? When commit velocity flips by ≥0.4.

The anti-signal — when 6/6 is wrong

Some orgs game every signal. Building your false-positive list is week 4 work.

Co-investor share template

Score → paragraph → ask. Three lines, one Slack message, one new co-investor convert.

MCP integration — running the framework from your editor

Six tools, one MCP server, zero context-switching out of your IDE.

Custom composite weights

Default is 1×6. Your beat probably needs 2× on one signal and 0.5× on another.

30-day retrospective — what the framework caught

Four weeks. Three candidates. One calibration. Ten watchlist orgs. What's measurable?

The Sunday digest as continuous practice

After Day 30, the rhythm continues — five orgs every Sunday, one composite per week.

Pre-graduation — which rung makes sense?

Free, €9.97/mo, or €1,997 — match the rung to the actual usage pattern from the last 30 days.

Graduation — the Stack Slide and one quiet decision

Thirty days. Six signals. One scorecard. One operational system. One decision.
