Transparent by design

The NLC Opportunity Score.

A 0–100 decision-support score for comparing revenue and founder opportunities. It organizes evidence. It does not predict your outcome.

The model

Score the opportunity, then show the receipts.

Every published score should expose the components below, the underlying source links, when each source was checked, and a confidence level. Missing evidence lowers confidence instead of being guessed.

0125 points

Product strength

Market evidence, customer sentiment, retention or growth proxies, differentiation, and identifiable adoption signals.

0215 points

Revenue efficiency

Revenue per employee when credible data exists, growth quality, funding or public filings, and operating-risk context.

0320 points

Sales-motion quality

Buyer clarity, deal complexity, quota plausibility, territory design, pipeline sources, and sales-cycle evidence.

0420 points

Compensation quality

Base, variable, equity, benefits, classification, payout terms, accelerators, and whether claims are source-supported.

0510 points

People and sentiment

Leadership stability, employee and customer sentiment, team structure, and evidence of enablement.

0610 points

Risk and confidence

Freshness, missing fields, source authority, contradictory evidence, and the confidence we can place in the score.

Publishing rules

What earns a place in the feed.

  • A direct employer, offer owner, or approved source URL
  • A visible last-checked timestamp and expiration process
  • Compensation labeled as sourced, estimated, or unknown
  • Different scoring weights for jobs, offers, and founder opportunities
  • Clear conflicts, missing data, and confidence disclosures

Important limitation

The score is a heuristic based on available evidence. It is not investment advice, legal advice, a job-placement promise, or a guarantee of compensation, company success, funding, or fit. Candidates must perform their own diligence.
