The Score is a weighted average of five dimensions, each 0–100: Market, Finance, Moat (competitive advantage), Management, and Risk. Defaults are Finance-heavy. Custom weights live on the strategy. Changing those weights does not silently rewrite every old Score — when the book gets rescored depends on the plan.
Defaults are Finance-heavy — on purpose
- Default weights: Finance 37.5%, Market 18.75%, Competitive advantage 18.75%, Risk 15%, Management 10%. Finance is heaviest by design for mid-market — filings numbers over qualitative impressions.
- These are defaults, not a locked model. Every strategy can reset them. How the Score is built: misano.ai/guides/how-the-score-is-computed.
- Barrandov Studio at default weights lands Score 77. Same company, different weights, different Score — that is the point of owning the dial.
Custom weights live on the strategy
- Strategy in: teaser PDF or a 200–10,000 character brief. The model extracts sectors, anti-patterns, and the scoring weights. One-time, versioned.
- Weights are part of that versioned strategy artefact — not a global account slider floating outside the thesis.
- Strategy Fit is a separate axis (0–3 in product). It is not a sixth weight inside the 0–100 Score. Fit vs Score: misano.ai/guides/strategy-fit-is-not-the-score.
When the book gets rescored — and when it does not
- Changing the strategy does not automatically rewrite the Score. FAQ on strategy-fit: a brief/KB move can change Fit without rewriting the Score.
- When strategy or Knowledge Base changes, Boutique (€199/mo annual) and Institutional (€699/mo annual) include retroactive rescoring of the Watching/Passed pile. Solo (€39/mo annual) does not. Pricing: misano.ai/pricing. Buried no: misano.ai/guides/the-buried-no.
- New scoring after a strategy change — including weights — uses the current model. Old names keep prior scores until rescored. That is why retroactive rescoring exists and is plan-gated.
- Portfolio can rescore holdings against the current thesis. Pipeline stages and scoring: misano.ai/guides/deal-pipeline-and-scoring.
What this is not
- Not Strategy Fit. Fit is 0–3 and separate from the weighted Score.
- Not a claim that Solo secretly rescored Watching/Passed after a weights change. Solo does not include retroactive rescoring.
- Not a documented slider UI walkthrough. Weights are extracted onto / set on the strategy; this guide does not invent click paths.
