    Geography, early stage or scale-up, product maturity, company, lab or partner type, and exclusions.

    Evidence

    What qualifies a candidate? Sources, customer proof, evaluation method, technical dependencies and open questions.

    Priorities

    Must-have criteria, useful extras, disqualifiers and the largest uncertainty.

    Shortlist

    One row per candidate. A listing or funding announcement is a discovery signal, not proof.

    1. Shortlist: entry 1

    Engagement

    What kind of engagement are you looking for?

    Outreach

    A concise reason to speak, the proposed question and the desired next step. Introductions require agreement from the participants.

    Delivery

    Decision owner, deadline, review cadence and next validation steps.

    A listing or funding announcement is a discovery signal, not diligence or proof that a company is currently raising.
