The method, step by step

1
Collect evidence

Public sources, founder interviews and documents are gathered into one profile: technology, business model, customers, funding history, intellectual property and team.

2
Score readiness

Each readiness dimension is rated 1–9 on the KTH Innovation Readiness Level scale. Every level has a written summary, so the rating is always traceable to a definition.

3
Score ocean impact

Impact KPIs are marked with an evidence level. The score shows what a company has actually proven and what it only claims — breadth of coverage counts too.

4
Sign off

An assessor records the levels, a confidence level and a short rationale. Assessments are stored with their date, so you can follow how a startup develops.

5
Compare on one number

Readiness, ocean impact and funding momentum are combined into an investment-potential score out of 100, with a band and a breakdown of what holds it back.

Funding momentum

20% of the scoreWhere a company is in its funding history and how recently it last raised. A round closed this quarter counts for more than one from four years ago, so momentum is a signal of traction rather than of size.

What the score tells you
