YC rubric grounding

The review is anchored to disciplined pitch evaluation.

PitchCouncil checks whether the deck makes a crisp case for problem urgency, solution clarity, market focus, traction quality, team advantage, business model, use of funds, and the next financing milestone. The result estimates how much friction this deck creates before a fund decides whether to invite the team to a live meeting.

The virtual committee includes market, business model, product, Downside & Risk Partner, and domain-specialist perspectives, then turns the disagreement into a written founder-facing review.

For the domain seat, PitchCouncil detects the company area from the deck and generates a digital-twin specialist for that exact context. The method adapts expert-panel practices used in large-company strategy and diligence workflows, so the critique reflects the category rather than a generic investor checklist.
