assessed — a bet, and what it costs to be wrong

Why the verified share is low, and why that is on the page. Only three of the nine rubric factors have any verification path at all — Regulatory, Reimbursement and FTO/IP. TAM has no free authoritative source, and factors 5–9 are judgments no database can answer. On top of that the CMS cache files are absent and EPO_OPS_KEY/EPO_OPS_SECRET are unset, so most reimbursement and patent checks return "nothing was searched" rather than a finding. Read a low count as a statement about the tooling, not about the idea.

Why the board shows a posture and does not sort by it. A posture is read off one candidate's own decision queue: repair-pending means something it cannot survive has been refuted and the loop owes an answer, evidence-gated means the biggest open question is knowable, and ready-to-read means a human should look — never that the idea is good. Those readings are not comparable between candidates. A critical pillar on a veterinary device and a critical pillar on a Class III implant are not the same amount of anything, so ordering this list by posture or exposure would produce a portfolio ranking assembled out of things that do not rank. Read a row; do not read the column. unassessed is a state, not a low score — it means nobody has yet written down what that idea rests on.

None of this is a recommendation. Shortlist review, legal and clinical sign-off and capital allocation are human-only. This board compiles what the candidate files say; it ranks nothing and advises nothing.
