Question 1

How does DICE help me screen cold deal flow?

Accepted Answer

Every incoming startup is converted into a standardized, structured scoreboard containing the exact same sections every time: an Executive Thesis, Four-Axis Metrics, Risk Disclosures, Competitive Market Intelligence (CMI), and a clear system verdict ranging from Strong Buy through Pass. This allows your investment committee to evaluate 50 companies a week with uniform clarity.

Question 2

Which AI models produce the aggregate evaluation?

Accepted Answer

DICE leverages an advanced Multi-Model Ensemble consisting of OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Perplexity Pro. By running these distinct LLM architectures simultaneously, the platform isolates individual model biases and provides a balanced consensus score.

Question 3

Where does the underlying evaluation data come from?

Accepted Answer

The data is retrieved via two secure channels: first, our automated data pipelines crawl, scrape, and parse the startup's public web presence and documentation. Second, where authorized by the founder, the engine performs secure post-login testing of the user interface alongside the founder's verified Stripe or database metrics ledger.

Question 4

Can my fund compare an app directly against its live competitors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every standard audit automatically includes a deep-dive Competitive Market Intelligence (CMI) module. This matrix tracks feature-by-feature parameters, pricing structures, and an automated SWOT analysis against three to five active market competitors running in the same industry vertical.

Question 5

Can an accelerator or VC use DICE across an entire portfolio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Enterprise Tier allows institutional funds to track their active portfolio companies. Startups or investors plug in monthly financial updates, and the system automatically recalculates the company's real-time DICE Score, updates historical trend lines, and monitors runway boundaries.

Question 6

Are DICE scores an official recommendation to invest capital?

Accepted Answer

No. DICE scores and audit exports are structured automated evaluation briefs designed for first-pass screening and operational due diligence. They serve as an analytical tool to filter deal flow and highlight potential risk vectors, not as formalized financial or legal investment advice.
