The AI Incubator.
Upload a new project and the AI doesn't just host it. It acts like an accelerator over time: identifying missing documentation, suggesting advisors to approach, recommending comparables, flagging rights or delivery gaps, generating pitch materials, and unlocking verification levels as evidence accumulates. By the time a project reaches Spotlight, it has already been guided through a standardized preparation process.
In its own words:
“This project has completed a transparent, structured preparation process. Here is the verified information so industry professionals can make their own decisions.”
