### Investor Ranker And Analyzer (What It Scores)
Model family and deployment bundle:
- Inference pipeline: XGBoost-based `Pipeline` (loaded from `uruti_bundle.joblib`)
- Classes:
- `not_ready`
- `mentorship_needed`
- `investment_ready`
What it analyzes at inference time:
- Structured model features (10 canonical fields):
- `funding_total_usd`
- `funding_rounds`
- `founded_year`
- `rd_spend`
- `administration_spend`
- `marketing_spend`
- `profit`
- `state_code`
- `category_code`
- `source`
- Uruti readiness heuristics used for calibrated score blending:
- team strength (`team_size`)
- traction (`user_base` vs target market)
- growth (`monthly_growth_pct`)
- partnerships
- sector boost
- startup stage
- optional platform score (`mlp_score`) when available
Score bands used in output:
- High Readiness (80-100)
- Strong Seed Readiness (70-79)
- Mentorship-to-Seed Transition (60-69)
- Mentorship Needed (50-59)
- Early Stage / …
