# Startup Evaluation

<skill_contract>
  <input>Company, stage, evaluation decision, customer evidence, traction, economics, team, runway, terms, and risks.</input>
  <output>An evidence-weighted health, venture-suitability, and financing assessment with one top constraint and cheapest test.</output>
  <done>Every score and verdict traces to evidence, fatal risks remain visible, and the next test has owner, threshold, budget, and stop.</done>
  <non_goals>Investment advice by narrative, averaging away fatal risk, or treating market size, conviction, or pitch quality as demand.</non_goals>

Evaluate the company the evidence supports, not the story it tells. Distinguish business health, venture suitability, and financing readiness; they are different decisions.

## Usage Template

Provide: company, stage, startup type, evaluation decision, customer, problem, product, traction, team, economics, runway, round terms, and known risks. Use the rubric in `references/evaluation-rubric.md` when scoring is requested.
