Published in full — the examination as delivered, with the evidence for every figure.

Recrufy

The keystone the founder named

Despite the fact that we do not have active paying companies yet, I believe employers and companies will value modern, objective, validated assessments. Especially middle and big companies that conduct hundreds of job interview in month. while candidates will be motivated to prove their skills and stand out to employers.

The keystone the examination identifies

Employers hiring repeatedly will trust RecruFY's results enough to pay for them and act on them inside a live recruitment process.

The distance

The gap sits between an employer valuing assessment and an employer paying for a result and acting on it, and the record holds nothing in that space. The founder's keystone, filed as his case under A9, joins two assumptions and names a segment: candidates will pay to prove their skills, and companies interviewing hundreds a month will value modern, objective, validated assessment. The campaign has moved the first toward evidence, with about one in six test-takers paying at a known price. The second carries the business; the house narrows the keystone to it and sharpens it from valuing assessment to paying a plan and changing a screening decision because of a score, which no employer has done. Between those two points no plan has been sold, no applicant has been sent by an employer, and no decision has been changed. The segment named in his keystone, companies interviewing hundreds a month, sits on the far side of the gap from the customer he says he is selling to now, who hires two or three a month, so the distance is also a distance between two employers.

Bidfold

The keystone the founder named

Discovery. If we surface the right tenders reliably, SMEs will pay a subscription for not missing them.

The keystone the examination identifies

Frequency and buyer: whether companies that bid monthly will pay per bid for a draft they can send after an hour of editing.

The distance

The founder’s self-stated keystone: discovery, confidence 7/10, test: five paid subscriptions this month. The examination found the keystone in production and frequency, and replaced the test with one that costs nothing and predates the co-founder’s deadline.

Corvid

The keystone the founder named

dependency on a frontier provider for our margin

The keystone the examination identifies

Whether Corvid can reach roughly 120 corporate/commercial firms across Austria and southern Germany before the two practice-management vendors ship a playbook-and-citation review layer inside software those firms already pay for.

The distance

The founder expected: "inference-cost dependency is the keystone risk; owning the model is the fix." The examination found the dependency real, manageable, and not the keystone; the keystone sits with the practice-software vendors and the Vienna referral concentration.
