Decompose the score to preserve judgment
Subscores show whether a match succeeds because of problem fit, readiness, industry context or IP status. Each organization can adjust weights to suit its mandate.
Every recommendation should return positive evidence, gaps and the next practical action—not an opaque ranking that cannot be challenged.
Build an auditable evidence trail
Every field that affects a score needs a source, verification date and accountable reviewer, especially TRL and IP status.
As projects progress, real outcomes should flow back into the model while the scoring logic remains inspectable.
