Decision support, not prediction
Pre-Mortem Insights does not predict whether a startup will fail or survive and does not calculate a probability of failure. It identifies whether available evidence may be consistent with patterns observed in historical failed startups and highlights areas that warrant further review.
No guarantee
A finding, recommendation, or intervention cannot guarantee an outcome or prevent failure. Startup outcomes depend on many changing factors that may be outside the evidence, historical data, reviewer knowledge, or founder control.
Not professional advice
The service is not investment, financial, accounting, tax, legal, employment, cybersecurity, medical, or other regulated professional advice. Users should consult appropriately qualified advisers before decisions requiring such advice.
Evidence and uncertainty
Results are limited by the completeness, accuracy, timing, and interpretation of supplied information. Missing evidence is not evidence of safety. Historical comparisons may be unavailable, broadened, or unsuitable, and past patterns do not determine future outcomes.
Human review
The diagnostic uses structured mappings, calculations, benchmarks, templates, and reviewer judgement. Every released report requires human review and senior approval. A report may contain opinions and reasonable interpretations rather than verified statements of fact.
Third-party and historical information
Third-party material may contain errors or limitations. Historical context is normally anonymised and aggregated. A startup name or source is not included unless its use is legally permitted and specifically approved.
Use of reports
Reports should be read in full, including confidence, limitations, and evidence-quality statements. Extracting a traffic-light status or recommendation without context may be misleading. Any authorised sharing remains subject to the final terms and engagement agreement.
