A growing ledger of Indian startups scored using the same framework. No hindsight. The score is what the framework would have said the day someone wrote a cheque — using only public filings, news, and earned reputation at that moment.
"Everything in this ledger was visible before the cheque was written."
Six weighted dimensions. Same for every entry. Stage-aware (Seed weights differently to Series B). Sector-aware (SaaS GM expectations differ from D2C).
Sorted by score. Each entry shows the year it was scored, the valuation at the time, the framework's verdict, and what actually happened (or what's still TBD).
Public-at-the-time signals only. Every score uses information that was publicly available at the time of scoring — filings, news, podcasts, earnings calls. No hindsight. No "we knew Byju's would fail." The framework either flagged it or didn't, with what was visible at that moment.
Bands. Green (70-100) means the metrics clear the bar. Amber (45-69) means gaps. Red (under 45) means the data doesn't support the cheque. Bands aren't predictions — they're signals on the data provided.
Live tests. Five entries are amber and still in motion. The framework's call holds or doesn't hold over the next 18-24 months. That's the real-time test you're watching.
This is not investment advice. The framework scores financial health and DD completeness, not "is this the right deal for your portfolio." Always consult a SEBI-registered RIA for personal advice.
