Issue The report's forecasts rest on the publisher's own private-market scores

Summary

CB Insights states that every trend in the report is assembled from its own proprietary signals on company fundamentals and market behaviour, and presents its Mosaic health score with a claimed 4.7 times better unicorn hit rate than the venture investors it classifies as smart money. The evidence base for the whole document is therefore a commercial data product sold by the publisher rather than an independently auditable source.
