What it means in practice

What a named verifier actually means

Four things that are true because a human name is on the verdict — and are not true when AI signs alone.

The verdict doesn’t change when you argue

Human verifiers don’t flip under pushback the way AI tools do when you prompt them harder. The verdict is based on evidence logged at the time of signing, not user satisfaction at the time of delivery. If you disagree, you can cite specific counter-evidence — but the original verdict stands in the record.

Every source is checked before signing

Cited sources are verified against licensed primary databases before the report is signed, not re-used from secondary summaries. If a source cannot be verified against a primary, it is either replaced or flagged as unverified. We do not cite sources we have not opened.

Professional accountability

A name on a verdict is a professional commitment. If a cited claim is wrong — a hallucinated source, a misattributed figure, a miscalculated score — we issue a public correction under our errata policy. The correction names the report, the error type, and the corrected information. No silent edits.

No incentive to tell you what you want to hear

We are paid to find problems before investors do. Our incentive is accuracy, not approval. A KILL verdict delivers the same 30-day refund guarantee as a GO. We have no financial or reputational reason to inflate a score. The verdict distribution data shows that 59% of PRISM verdicts are KILL.

The process

The verification process — six steps

Every PRISM Pro and Ultra report, every Sentinel verification, follows this protocol before Pranav signs.

01

Brief intake & claim extraction

The submitted brief, deck, or document is parsed to extract every assertion that could be challenged: market size figures, competitive claims, benchmarks, pricing rationale, regulatory assumptions.

02

PRISM lens assignment

Each extracted claim is assigned to one or more of the 12 PRISM lenses: market sizing, competitive moat, unit economics, demand validation, regulatory risk, distribution, team execution fit, and five more.

03

RAG retrieval from licensed corpora

Claims are cross-referenced against licensed, datestamped sources via retrieval-augmented generation. Web-scraped results are not used. Every retrieved citation is checked for publication date, methodology, and primary sourcing.

04

Adversarial stress-testing

Pranav reads every AI-generated draft and tries to break each claim before the report does. For Pro and Ultra tiers, 15–60 stress scenarios are run against the business model assumptions. If a claim survives stress-testing, it goes to verdict.

05

Verdict assignment & sign-off

A PRISM verdict (GO / CONDITIONAL GO / PIVOT / DEFER / KILL) is assigned based on aggregate lens scores. The verdict is signed by Pranav with a date stamp. For Sentinel reports, the specific verified and disputed claims are itemised with source trails.

06

Delivery & 30-day guarantee

The signed report is delivered within 24–48 hours depending on tier. The 30-day unconditional refund guarantee activates on delivery. If a cited claim is later found to be wrong, the errata process opens automatically.

Why AI alone is not enough

AI accelerates. A human is accountable.

AI retrieval and synthesis have made it possible to cross-reference hundreds of licensed sources in seconds. That speed is real, and we use it. But AI tools cannot be held professionally accountable for a wrong verdict. They do not have a name on the document. They cannot be contacted when an investor challenges a claim. They cannot issue a refund.

The Sentinel verification process — which underpins PRISM and pitch deck verification — uses AI at every retrieval and synthesis step. What it does not use AI for is the final verdict sign-off, the adversarial stress-testing, or the source verification gate. Those steps require a human with skin in the game.

Errata & corrections

If a verdict or report Pranav has signed contains a factual error — a wrong citation, a miscalculated score, a misidentified competitor — we correct it publicly under the errata policy. The correction is logged, timestamped, and noted on the verdict distribution page. We do not silently edit published reports.
