Do you have a way to backtest the algorithm? Would be interesting to be able to verify accuracy without needing to wait 1-2 years (or whatever the time period meant by "about to go into hyper growth").

The reason I ask is I tend to be pretty cautious about these types of predictors of "business success" given that VCs nor research teams ("Good to Great" by Jim Collins) don't exactly have a strong track record.

An interesting test would be to make it time bound and run it on something like Clinkle circa late 2013.
