The exact five-dimension model behind every Opportunity Score — demand, revenue, competition, build difficulty, and trend — and how the weights are applied.
Opportunity Scoring Model
Every signal earns one 0–100 Opportunity Score so a visitor can compare openings at a glance. The point is transparency: the model is legible, not a black box.
The formula is fixed — demand 32%, revenue 28%, competition 22% (inverted), build difficulty 18% (inverted), trend ±8 — so the same signal always scores the same way.
The score does not make the decision; it ranks the queue. High scorers get sourced into initiatives first, where the thesis is tested against real validation gates.
Read the validation playbook for the gates that come after the score.
This resource is part of one connected intelligence graph. Trace it into the radar signals, initiatives, ventures, and solutions it relates to.
New reports, weekly Radar Briefs, and validation playbooks — the signals before they become trends.
More from the library on adjacent signals and frameworks.
How a scored signal earns its way into a funded build — the measurable gates we set before an initiative graduates into a venture.
