What ZORAA studies
The framework considers founder and team, market, product, technology, business model, traction, customers, financial health, competition, operations, funding, scalability, regulation, growth and risk. The relevant mix changes by stage and sector.
Evidence categories
Potential sources include information submitted by a company, company websites and public announcements, permitted public records, industry research, verified documents and licensed third-party data. This is an intended source architecture—not a claim that ZORAA currently has access to every source category.
Source discipline
A useful record should explain where information came from, when it was captured, what it was used for and whether the underlying claim was independently verified. Source identification alone is not verification.
Research questions
Good research asks what supports a claim, what could challenge it, what remains unknown and what new evidence would change an interpretation. Those questions matter more than producing a neat number.
