Five application questions

A worked example

Here’s how I think.

I researched Systemiq’s publications, then searched the verticals in which the team invests to see how its thesis translates into companies. I found 31 companies and narrowed them through the screen below; an AI assistant at the bottom lets you ask more questions.

Electrification / Compute

Power systems around silicon.

Three cleared the high screen. I show four candidates because one has a clear next evidence test.

Hover or tap a gate to see what it checks.

Gate 1 · 31 → 17+

Stage, geography, physical bottleneck and hard no’s.

Gate 2 · 17 → 14+

A named portfolio neighbour or an explicit Systemiq request, without competition.

Gate 3 · 14 → 3+

Physical bottleneck, layer fit, portfolio complement, stage and geography, why now, and defensibility of facts.

Red-team review · 4 shown+

A sceptical second look at the strongest claim and the missing evidence.

Red-team review means a sceptical second pass: I tried to break the strongest claim and named the evidence still missing.

Opportunities

Four candidates that could fit Systemiq.
