SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps investors consistently evaluate whether an open-source project is investable in the AI cycle, even when public revenue data is incomplete, by producing a structured, weighted scorecard with guardrails and veto conditions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 5-Dimension Weighted Scorecard (0–10): Produces dimension-level and total scores using ecosystem, team/globalisation, technical moat, commercialisation/PMF, and exit path weights.
  • Macro Gate + One-Vote Vetoes: Stops early with a Pass recommendation when fundamental prerequisites fail and triggers immediate Pass when critical disqualifiers are detected.
  • Indirect Signal Inference (V1.2): Uses verifiable proxy signals (e.g., SOC2, billing complexity, GTM hiring, enterprise case studies) when ARR/revenue is not public.
  • Optional Anti-Fraud Star Health Protocol: Adjusts Dimension A scoring when star growth appears disconnected from real engineering activity.

Quick Start

Ask an AI agent to run the oss-investment-scorecard skill on the project you want to fund, using the framework rules from SKILL.md to generate the macro gate result, weighted dimension scores, verdict, and a ≤100-word IC thesis.

Frequently Asked Questions about oss-investment-scorecard

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate open source projects for venture capital investment?

To evaluate open source projects for venture capital investment, you apply a weighted five-dimension scorecard covering ecosystem, team, technical moat, commercialisation, and exit path, producing a 0-10 total score and a pass/recommend/watch verdict.

How does investment scoring work when open source revenue data is incomplete?

Investment scoring with incomplete revenue data works by using indirect signal inference, applying verifiable proxy signals like SOC2 compliance, billing complexity, GTM hiring, and enterprise case studies to infer commercial traction.

How do I generate an IC thesis for open source due diligence?

You generate an IC thesis for open source due diligence by running the investment scorecard to produce a macro gate result, weighted dimension scores, a final verdict, and a concise one-paragraph investment recommendation.

Can I apply a risk veto to disqualify an open source startup from funding?

Yes, you can apply a one-vote veto to disqualify an open source startup from funding, as the scorecard triggers an immediate pass verdict when critical disqualifiers or fundamental macro gate prerequisites fail.

What is star health anti-fraud adjustment in open source investment scoring?

Star health anti-fraud adjustment is an optional protocol in open source investment scoring that modifies Dimension A ecosystem scores when GitHub star growth appears artificially disconnected from real engineering activity.

Does the investment scorecard support USD-denominated VC funds in the AI cycle?

Yes, the investment scorecard specifically evaluates whether an open source project is investable by a USD-denominated VC fund operating within the current AI technology acceleration cycle.
