Six modes. Same file. Different readings.
The evaluation context is the most strategic decision in the analysis. It calibrates the block-weight matrix, risk-signal sensitivity thresholds and external-verification depth. A wrong context produces a wrong decision — so the platform surfaces context-file mismatches at Workflow 0.
GENERALStandard Evaluation
An inclusive, balanced reading for all decision tables. The default context when no specific decision purpose is set. Investor relevance, growth, cash and feasibility are read with balanced weights.
EQUITY_INVESTMENTVenture & Growth Investment
A deep reading focused on the investment decision. Valuation fairness, dilution, exit scenarios and follow-on readiness come to the fore. The primary context for institutional investors such as VC, CVC and regulated venture funds.
CROWDFUNDINGEquity Crowdfunding
For equity-based crowdfunding applications. Regulatory compliance, feasibility minimums, campaign simulation and target achievement come to the fore. Platform and campaign discipline.
PRE_SCREENAccelerator / Incubator
Pre-screening for early-stage programmes. Programme-startup fit, team quality, product readiness and growth potential come to the fore. Bulk-application screening discipline.
M_AND_AMergers & Acquisitions
For acquisition and M&A processes. Strategic-acquirer fit, synergy, operational feasibility, cultural fit and integration risk assessment come to the fore.
IPO_READINESSIPO Readiness
Pre-IPO readiness assessment. Financial-reporting discipline, corporate governance, prospectus logic, use-of-proceeds planning and investor-relations readiness come to the fore.
Each block's weight shifts with the context. The final score is read across nine domains, not one.
The platform's context-based block weight matrix calibrates each of the nine scoring blocks differently for each evaluation context. Total weights always sum to 100.

- BLOCK-08 (context-specific core) carries the highest weight in CROWDFUNDING (20), M&A (22), IPO and PRE-SCREEN (18). In these contexts the work's main question converges in BLOCK-08.
- BLOCK-04 (Financial Health) peaks at 18 in IPO_READINESS — public-disclosure discipline is the most critical element in this context.
- BLOCK-07 (Valuation) sits at 14 in EQUITY_INVESTMENT and CROWDFUNDING, only 4 in PRE-SCREEN — early-stage valuation pressure is systematically lower.
- BLOCK-06 (Team) is highest at 18 in PRE-SCREEN, where team quality matters more than anything else early on.
A wrong context selection is the most critical systemic risk. Mismatches — such as a crowdfunding file under the M&A context, an early-stage startup under the IPO context, or accelerator pre-screening under the equity-investment context — distort the analytical tone. When the platform detects a mismatch between file evidence and the selected context, it produces a context-validation note and offers the user the option to open a new evaluation.
