Recorded —
and timestamped.
Thank you, Marco. Your responses for NovaPath AG are now encrypted, time-stamped, and queued for review by the ZHAW research team. Nothing is published yet — and nothing will be without your active consent. Below is exactly what happens next, and when.
From now until October 2026.
DAYS ACTIVE STEP
Validation by ZHAW
Research staff cross-checks your responses against public sources — Handelsregister entries, Innosuisse records, press coverage, your website. You may receive a single email if a clarification is needed. Otherwise, no action required from your side.
Score calculation
Your responses are scored across the five dimensions and placed within your stage cohort (Early Stage). You receive a private dashboard link with your interim score breakdown — visible only to you.
FINALISATION
Peer comparison & expert review
Final score after second-round validation, expert assessment input from the panel, and peer-cohort calibration. Your dashboard will show your full per-dimension breakdown and your percentile band — still private, still yours alone.
Selection Status issued
If your final score reaches Silver (≥ 70.0) or higher, you receive your Selection Badge — and you decide whether to publish. Below the Silver threshold, nothing appears publicly without your explicit consent. Many startups use the first result as an internal development map and reapply.
