Positioning

General‑purpose assistants are built for broad conversation, writing and productivity. AMAYA operates a governed system for investment underwriting and diligence — purpose‑built around structured methodology, evidence linked to every conclusion, human approval gates, role‑based access, versioned outputs and a complete audit trail. The two are complementary, not equivalent.
Venture funds, family offices, allocators and LPs, sovereign and innovation platforms, corporate venture teams, and companies seeking an institutional AI durability rating. Each engages AMAYA under terms appropriate to their role.
No. The Marketplace is a permissioned environment. Company identity is disclosed under controlled terms; access is gated; evidence is structured rather than free‑form.

ADI rates a company. It expresses durability through the AI transition on a twelve‑dimension framework with a single integrated grade and stated confidence. IDI underwrites an investment across seven Core Company Quality pillars, uses ADI as one input, and produces an IC‑ready diligence record through a governed workflow with human approval gates.
Company durability through the AI transition across twelve dimensions grouped under three pillars — External Pressure, Internal Resilience and Adaptive Capacity — integrated into a single grade. Each rating carries an issue date, a methodology version, stated confidence, dimension scores, articulated strengths and concerns, and a link to the evidence behind each conclusion.
Clara guides the founder interview through a structured diligence flow, classifying responses as facts, assertions, forecasts or commitments. It surfaces contradictions and evidence gaps so analysts can review what was said, what is supported and what still needs evidence. AMAYA recommends. People decide.
Yes. Ratings can be reissued. Reissues carry their own issue date and methodology version, and prior versions remain part of the auditable record. Continuous automatic re‑rating is on the roadmap, not currently live.

No. AMAYA recommends; people decide. Every material step requires human approval. Analyst and committee authority is a first‑class part of the workflow, not an afterthought added on top.
Approval gates are part of the workflow. Roles are defined: analysts assemble and edit, approvers ratify, observers may comment. Edits, additions and overrides are versioned and attributed.
Through containment, not promises. Conclusions must be linked to evidence. Confidence is declared. Sources carry date and provenance. Approval gates require a human at each material step. The audit history preserves every change. AMAYA does not claim to eliminate the limitations of large language models — it operates a system designed to contain them.
Each evidence item is classified by Clara with source, date, dimension and a confidence level. Ratings and diligence outputs reference those items directly, so any conclusion can be traced back to the underlying record.

/ 04

Yes. ADI provides the durability rating. IDI accommodates a fund’s mandate and diligence questions on top of the structured evidence ledger, so internal methodology is preserved while gaining institutional comparability.
Standard institutional materials: corporate, financial, technical and legal documentation appropriate to the rating dimensions, alongside founder context. The exact intake is shared during onboarding.
Demonstrations are scheduled directly with the AMAYA team. Pilots are scoped against a defined mandate or pipeline. Both begin with a conversation about fit, scope and timing.
Identity is disclosed under permissioned terms set by the company. Investor access is gated. Progression into diligence is itself a controlled step.
Role‑based access, per‑organisation isolation, permissioned disclosure and audit logging govern who can access information and how activity is recorded. Specific hosting, encryption and certification details are provided during procurement review.
White‑label and embedded configurations are part of the institutional roadmap and are discussed under direct engagement.
ADI and IDI are live. Clara structures the founder interview that feeds both. The Marketplace is in development. Continuous automatic re‑rating, voice‑based intake and external APIs are on the roadmap.
