- Total3.75Stored score → Warm-up
Seed rule (editor's call): early-stage without strong traction starts in Warm-up (Tempo by score alone).
Hiring and funding from the stored fields add up to +3.5. The stored score of 3.75 includes a judgment call the fields don't capture (often a boundary month or a round we don't count), so traction and red-flag points can't be split out exactly.
Distance (Unproven) is a separate read on how long the lead can last. It doesn't change the score.

Two years old with ~26 staff and a handful of named enterprise customers; deployment-led setup on customer ERP data could create lock-in, but revenue and renewals are undisclosed and Pigment, Runway and ERP-vendor copilots crowd the space.
