Capital has always had a common score. Companies raising it never did.
Lenders read one credit score. Investors read a hundred different decks. The CRI ends that: one scale, one framework and one evidenced answer to the question every raise turns on. How ready is this company?
0 to 1,000.Five areas.28 signals.
The CRI reads what serious investors read: the team, the product and its competition, the market, the traction and the foundations of the business. Every signal is evidenced and scored on the same framework, so a 760 means the same thing in London, Lagos or Lisbon.
The evidence behind the standard.
A first-of-its-kind study in research collaboration with Oxford Saïd Business School, led by Professor Thomas Hellmann and his research team, combining systematic readiness assessments, real-world funding outcomes and AI-assisted founder development. Data due diligence is complete and a joint research paper is in preparation.
The market moves.So does the CRI.
A static score goes stale. The CRI learns from outcomes. Using the academic methodology from our research collaboration with Oxford Saïd Business School, signal weights move with what is actually getting funded, so the index stays in line with the market. All of it runs privately inside Phronel.
