Numen scores a pitch deck against 13 venture criteria weighted for your funding stage, out of 120 — plus a separate 8-area US market readiness score out of 100, and a risk rating that is not a summary of either.
Built for founders entering the US from abroad, and used most often by Korean AI companies deciding whether they are ready to make the move.

Traction carries real weight behind Traction 7.2 of 10: 19 of 20 candidates placed and 70% retention are stated outcomes, not projections. Product 7.4 of 12 rests on a model tested at 71%…

Early product in market. Judged on early proof and a repeatable motion.
Scaling. Judged on traction, economics, and go-to-market execution.
The stage sets every weight in the rubric, so it is picked first and has no default — scoring a deck against the wrong stage produces a confident, wrong number.
Seed or Series A. Required, with no default: the stage sets every weight below it, and traction alone swings from 10 points to 16 across them.
PDF or PPTX. Speaker notes are read too, since that is often where the numbers actually live.
Each item is scored 0–10 on the evidence present in the deck — not on how ambitious the claim is. A confident assertion with no supporting figure scores low. The 120-point venture total and the 100-point US score are calculated separately.
Evidence across the rubric is specific, quantified, and consistent.
Real substance, with named areas still carried on assertion.
The shape of the case is present; the evidence for it is not yet.
Core claims are not yet evidenced. Validate before scaling.
The weighted total is calculated in code, not written by the model. Risk is calculated separately and is not a summary of the score — a deck can score well and still carry high risk if its traction, go-to-market, or US evidence is thin. A dash marks a weight the rubric does not yet define. Series A will not be scored until that column is complete, rather than scored against a guess.
Scored separately, and deliberately so. A company can be a strong investment and still be unready for the US; folding the two into one number hides exactly the signal this is here to surface. These weights do not move with the stage — being early does not make a company readier for a market.
The company appears reasonably prepared to pursue the U.S. market.
Good potential, but meaningful gaps should be addressed.
Some indicators are positive, but the U.S. strategy remains largely unvalidated.
Significant customer, competitive, GTM, or execution validation is still required.
The whole product. A stage-weighted venture score, a separate US market readiness score, and a risk rating that is not a summary of either.
