Are you investable by a defence investor, or already filtered out?
This audit exposes how your company is evaluated before it ever reaches an IC — surfacing hidden vetoes, structural gaps, and credibility risks that quietly kill deals.
In under 15 minutes, get a decision-grade view of your fundability and a clear path to fix what matters.

Institutional-grade filters
Built on the same structural criteria used by institutional defence investors
B2G-calibrated
Designed for founders operating in sovereign, regulated, government-first markets
Pre-due diligence
Used to surface deal-breaking risks before capital and credibility are committed
Most defence deals do not fail on technology.
They fail earlier. Quietly. Structurally.
Export control exposure invalidates the investment case
No credible path into procurement or programme adoption
Misalignment with sovereign requirements or entity structure
Weak revenue quality against B2G expectations
No defensible exit pathway
These issues are rarely explained. They are simply filtered out.
By the time you realise it, the opportunity is already gone.
The Audit
This audit replicates the early-stage filters used by defence investors.
It forces a reality check before capital, time, and credibility are committed.
Instead of optimising your narrative
It stress-tests your structure — the elements investors actually screen before an IC meeting.
Instead of scoring surface signals
It identifies hard veto conditions — the structural blockers that end deals before they begin.

This is not a generic startup assessment.
It is calibrated for defence and dual-use markets where the rules of capital are different.
Procurement replaces sales
Regulation defines market access
Sovereignty shapes eligibility
Timing and doctrine matter as much as product
It reflects how decisions are actually made in this ecosystem.
You are already being evaluated through these lenses.
The only question is whether you see the gaps before investors do.
