How we score evidence

Vane groups what you learn into five levels of evidence, from weakest to strongest: a compliment, casual interest, a time commitment, a reputation commitment, and a money commitment. Stronger behavior counts for more than kind words.

The evidence score is calculated from the information you enter. Vane does not independently verify it. Treat the score as a guide to what to prove next, not as a rating of your business.

Requirements differ between investors. A strong score does not guarantee funding.
