Understanding the POS Score: The Science of Prediction

At Verdyct, we don't just guess which startups will succeed. We calculate it. The Predictive Opportunity Score (POS) is the engine of our analysis platform, distilling millions of data points into a single metric of potential.

The Three Pillars of POS

Our algorithm evaluates three core dimensions, inspired by the classic Design Thinking framework but powered by modern data science:

• Viability (The Business): Is the business model sound? Are unit economics likely to work? We analyze similar public companies and pricing models to estimate margin potential.
• Desirability (The Market): Is there a genuine market need? We scrape search trends, Reddit discussions, and social sentiment to measure "Problem Urgency."
• Feasibility (The Tech): Can it be built with current technology? We cross-reference your feature list against current API capabilities and development complexity benchmarks.

How to Interpret Your Score

Improving Your POS

The score isn't static. It reflects your current definition of the idea. Refining your pitch, narrowing your target audience, or clarifying your revenue model can significantly boost your POS during re-evaluation.

We see many founders start with a generic "Uber for X" (Score: 32) and refine it into "Uber for Medical Supplies in Rural Areas" (Score: 78). Specificity tells our AI that you understand the market.
