Key Findings
Critical

Hardcoded API key detected

Secrets exposure creates immediate security and diligence risk for investors reviewing production hygiene.

Critical

Prompt injection vulnerability

Unsafe prompt handling may allow malicious input to override instructions and compromise system behavior.

High

No fallback model strategy

Single-model dependency weakens resilience and raises diligence concerns around uptime and continuity.

High

LLM cost inefficiency

Current orchestration increases inference cost and weakens margin assumptions under scale.

Medium

Limited observability

Monitoring and traceability gaps make incident response slower and reduce confidence in operating maturity.

what_you_get

What founders get after the assessment.

The hero shows the report itself. This section explains what sits behind it: what an investor or partner would review, what founders can act on immediately, and where diligence questions are most likely to surface.

How the ASIRI Investor Readiness Score Works

ASIRI does not rely on a simple checklist or questionnaire. We combine technical evidence, repository signals, architecture review, AI/LLM risk analysis, IP and open-source exposure, privacy indicators, and operational maturity signals.

framework-informed review

Evidence is mapped to recognised frameworks

Findings are mapped against recognised frameworks including NIST, CIS Controls, OWASP, NIST SSDF, OWASP SAMM, OWASP ASVS, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, and NIST AI RMF.

1. Collect evidence

Repository signals, code patterns, architecture inputs, privacy indicators, and supporting documents are gathered for review.

Step 1
2. Map findings to recognised frameworks

Observed issues are organized against established security, software assurance, privacy, and AI governance standards.

Step 2
3. Identify investor-relevant risks

ASIRI highlights the issues most likely to create objections during technical diligence, investment review, or follow-up requests.

Step 3
4. Apply proprietary scoring methodology

The final Investor Readiness Score is generated using ASIRI’s proprietary scoring methodology.

Step 4
5. Produce remediation roadmap

Founders receive a structured report that explains what matters, why it matters, and what to fix first.

Step 5
proprietary methodology

High-level scoring explanation

The score reflects severity, evidence quality, investor relevance, remediation complexity, and the likelihood that an issue could become a diligence blocker.

What founders see

The report explains findings and evidence clearly, including which issues are likely to matter most in investor review and which gaps should be remediated first.

What ASIRI does not disclose

The underlying scoring model remains proprietary. We do not expose exact weights, formulas, deductions, internal thresholds, or scanner-specific scoring logic.

Confidential review posture

We show founders what matters, why it matters, and what to fix first — without exposing sensitive source code or retaining code after analysis.

Methodology note

The report explains findings and evidence clearly. The underlying scoring model remains proprietary.

score_ranges

What the score ranges mean

A strong score does not promise a financing outcome. It indicates how much technical and AI diligence friction is likely to appear before an investor gains conviction.

85-100 Investor-ready

Evidence is strong, blockers are limited, and the team appears prepared for technical review.

70-84 Conditionally investable

Commercially credible, with targeted diligence issues that should be addressed before serious review deepens.

50-69 Material diligence risk

Important technical, AI, IP, or privacy concerns are likely to slow momentum or trigger follow-up objections.

30-49 High-risk / major remediation required

Multiple weaknesses point to meaningful investor concern and a substantial pre-fundraise remediation burden.

0-29 Critical / likely diligence blocker

Core security, IP, compliance, or AI safety gaps create a strong likelihood of diligence failure.

what_we_detect

What ASIRI actually detects during diligence review.

ASIRI is built for investor-oriented technical diligence, not a generic AI scanner. The engine looks for the issues most likely to slow, reframe, or block conviction.

01

Exposed secrets and weak security hygiene

Hardcoded API keys, tokens, credentials, unsafe configuration, and dependency risks that signal weak production discipline.

02

IP and open-source exposure

GPL/AGPL dependencies, unclear code ownership, contractor IP gaps, copied code risk, and weak evidence of proprietary ownership.

03

Prompt injection and unsafe agent behavior

LLM workflows that can be manipulated through prompts, retrieval content, memory, or external tool use.

04

PII and privacy exposure

Personal data in logs, datasets, prompts, repositories, or pipelines without clear handling controls or compliance evidence.

05

Weak model and data provenance

Unclear training data origin, missing dataset licenses, weak fine-tuning documentation, or inability to reproduce model behavior.

06

Token cost and operational fragility

Overbuilt inference chains, missing fallback model strategy, poor observability, and unit economics that may break at scale.

evidence_verification

We Don’t Just Ask Founders. We Verify Claims Against Evidence.

ASIRI maps founder statements to technical and documentary evidence, helping teams identify where investor objections are likely to appear.

Founder claim

“We do not use personal data.”

ASIRI checks data flows, logs, prompts, sample schemas, and storage patterns to see whether privacy claims are actually supported.

Evidence checked Data flows Logs and prompts

Risk if missing: Privacy and compliance concern.

Founder claim

“We own all IP.”

ASIRI reviews repository history, OSS licenses, and contractor or IP assignment documents to check whether ownership claims are defensible.

Evidence checked Repo history Assignment docs

Risk if missing: Potential investment blocker.

Founder claim

“Our LLM system is safe.”

ASIRI reviews prompt handling, retrieval paths, agent tools, guardrails, and fallback behavior to test whether that claim holds up.

Evidence checked Guardrails Tool access

Risk if missing: AI safety and operational risk.

Founder claim

“Our product can scale.”

ASIRI reviews architecture, token usage, fallback models, observability, and CI/CD evidence to see whether scale claims are technically credible.

Evidence checked Observability CI/CD

Risk if missing: Scalability and margin risk.
