Scoring rationale
PASS — WonderCow is a bovine colostrum supplement brand, which falls outside Jeff's food & beverage mandate (Health & Household on Amazon, not F&B). Despite genuine traction signals — best-selling ASIN at BSR 8,735 (improving 9% over 90 days), 30 live Meta ads, organic Reddit comparisons vs. Armra across r/Supplements, and rising Google Trends for both brand and category — the category fit is wrong. Capital signal is minimal (only a $64.4K grant in 2023 per Tavily/Crunchbase), which would otherwise be attractive for pre-seed entry, but category disqualifies.
Traction: 10 press · 30 ads · BSR Δ-6% · TikTok 8 → 16/25
Authenticity: IG 27,582 · TT 8 · -4 Amazon reviews · 4 subreddits → 7/20
Capital: 0 funding press (penalty 3) · TM sweet-spot no · 30 ads → 5/15 (higher = pre-raise)
Category timing: supplement (colostrum) trend rising · brand trend rising → 12/12
Out of food+bev scope — will not surface on pipeline.
